British Government Says "It has NoChoice Candidate for 2027 Elections"

The British Deputy High Commissioner in Nigeria, Gill Lever, has said the British government has no preferred candidate or political party in Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.

Reports says that Lever on Tuesday during a courtesy visit to the Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, at the Government House, Ilorin, stated that the United Kingdom would not interfere in Nigeria’s political process, adding that its interest was in free, peaceful, inclusive and credible elections.

The British deputy commissioner said, “Downing Street has no favourite political party and will not be seen interfering in local political matters. We all want to see elections that are peaceful, that are inclusive, that are credible, with space for participation, with respect for institutions.

We do not favour one party or another, and we would never be in the business of telling Nigerian people how to vote.”

These were the words stated by Lever, at the government house, Ilorin.
