A member of the United States House of Representatives, Riley Moore, has said the administration of President Donald Trump will closely monitor how Nigeria conducts its 2027 general elections.
Moore, a Republican representing West Virginia, made the remarks during an interview with NoireTV published on the platform’s social media pages on Sunday while responding to questions about Nigeria’s next general election.
Speaking on whether the United States could do more to support credible elections in Nigeria, the congressman stressed that Washington would be paying close attention to the electoral process.
“What I’d say is that we’re certainly going to be watching these results and how these elections unfold and how they’re executed. And that’s something that myself and the administration are going to be paying very close attention to.”
Moore also disclosed that the US House of Representatives was considering an appropriations bill containing provisions affecting Nigeria, particularly on issues relating to religious freedom and US security assistance.
