Nigerians are continuing to express displeasure and distrust in the electoral process as an official memo from the presidency of Niger republic sending delegates to Buhari’s campaign emerges.
Disapproved of as a case of the president accepting blatant foreign interference, Nigerians worry about other ways foreigners may play a role in the Buhari re-election bid.

What business do they have with our election, and why did Buhari’s gov’t welcome them?

The memo preceded the rally and is only coming to light now. Read here: https://t.co/StYjTqVwoU— Farooq Kperogi, Ph.D (@farooqkperogi) February 4, 2019
