Former USA President, Bill Clinton has said he wishes Nigeria well ahead of the elections that are set to go down in the country.
The politician was scheduled to pay Nigeria a visit to oversee Wednesday’s peace pact signing ceremony between the two leading candidates, President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
He however decided against the visit at the last minute because of fears that him coming to Nigeria might be politically misconstrued.
Bill Clinton recently called President Buhari on the phone to wish Nigeria well, according to the Presidency.
Femi Adesiba said, “President Buhari assured Clinton of his commitment to free, fair and credible elections in the weeks ahead. “President Clinton, who regretted his inability to visit the country to witness the signing of the final peace accord before the general elections, wished Nigeria well as her citizens go to the polls.”
