Minister of State Foreign Affairs II, Musiliu Obanikoro, recently took to Twitter to air his views on the recently concluded governorship elections in Lagos State.
Obanikoro stated that he doesn’t think the elections were free and fair:

I congratulated Ambode based on the larger interest of Lagos State. Amaechi and his co-travelers in Rivers State should learn from this. #MO

The US Government should play the role of an impartial observer in Nigeria. In 2000, the presidential election in Florida had its flaws. #MO
