The firm also alleged that, regardless of political leaning, there is a growing consensus that the Nigerian government and its leader, President Bola Tinubu, represent a bastion of corruption.
According to the firm, Tinubu appointed an individual whom the US Department of Justice stated had embezzled billions from Nigeria’s treasury during an earlier administration to serve as Nigeria’s current budget minister.
“The US cannot afford to allow President Tinubu to rig the upcoming Nigerian election.
“This level of lawlessness in the Nigerian government puts Nigeria on a path similar to those seen in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
“Free and fair elections in Nigeria are essential to protecting US interests in Nigeria and the broader region,” the firm tweeted.
