United States Government officials met Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday at the state house in Abuja over the unrest in Nigeria .....
The delegation was led by Ulrich Brechbuhl, Counselor of the U.S. Department of State.
It included Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, Bob Destro, and Assistant Secretary for Conflict and Stabilization Operations, Denise Natali.
Brechbuhl conveyed the regards of the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Pompeo had issued a statement on the situation in Nigeria.
“Secretary Pompeo asked us to come as friends and partners of Nigeria to examine the drivers of insecurity across the country and to better understand conflict mitigation efforts already underway so that we can explore ways to enhance our cooperation,” Brechbuhl said.
The Counselor acknowledged that his visit came during a tumultuous time for Nigeria.
Brechbuhl stressed that America is deeply concerned by recent violence.
He reiterated U.S. condemnation of the use of excessive force by the military on unarmed protestors at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos on Tuesday.
The official offered his deepest condolences to the victims of the shootings.
Brechbuhl demanded that those responsible be held accountable under the law.
He stated the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression are essential human rights and core democratic principles.

Amazing US quickly sent their representatives to protect their interests in Nigeria. I hope they threatened Nigeria and not just make demands since that's the only language Buhari understands. They should freeze their accounts overseas and seize their properties and hit them where it hurts.
ReplyDelete...& they’re still denying. A big shame to our so called leaders. U can’t cover d truth anymore. Shameless liars.
DeleteGabon or Burkina Faso, can you accept me already? Done with this failed state.
ReplyDeletePlease take me along
DeleteYou no need Visa for those countries na, just stroll enter.
DeleteYou just need Visa on arrival which will cost 50$ at point of entry and please make sure you national over there so US / Canada will not turn down your Application
DeleteI hope Osinbajo didn't reiterate the lies that the live video was doctored.
ReplyDeleteThis clearly says 2 things viz: they know we don't have a president and they knew there was not going to be any sensible thing in yesterday's address
ReplyDeleteThis!!!!
DeleteShebi Buhari said they should mind their business.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish these countries will stop all political officials in Nigeria from coming to their countries.
Shame on all our leaders.
Big shame on you all. Hooobbiiii
What time was this meeting? Big shame on professor pastor vp osinbajo! Aiding sin is sin unto itself. We trusted you, and entrusted so much to you. Shane on you!!@eaadeboye, behold your son...
ReplyDeleteI never trusted that man! Pastor my foot, if I talk about all these pastors ehn, e better make I do business with an unbeliever than pastors
DeleteKey word: met with the vice president. We don't have a president, I'm beginning to believe Nnamdi Kanu.
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteAsking for those that r responsible to be held accountable under d law is like asking d government to persecute themselves which we know doesn't happen in this country
ReplyDeleteNa God go sha help us last last coz IT IS FINISHED
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Delete😭😭😭😭
DeleteChina should just come and colonize us, it will be better I swear
Delete10:05 I REJECT THIS YOUR WISH❗ Please, REJECT IT TOO.
DeleteYou don't know what you are asking for.
US officials met Osibanjo? Why the VP? Where is the P? What the fuck are these people not telling us? Why should such a dead brain be leading us? When they need someone with brain to deliberate with oyibo, they will drag out this short man. My people, the struggle isn't over. It is just starting. This man must go. We can't sit down and watch him Shepherd us into Golgotha.
ReplyDeleteThey cannot get a translator for babas English at short notice na
DeleteWhatever they're hiding, the international community is aware
DeleteThey may have stopped the protests physically, by using force and using thugs. But my dear youths they cannot stop the protests in our minds. We must go back to the drawing board and think of a way that we will be liberated. It is not over until it is over. At least they know now they are not leading Mumus.We must not loose focus. What we really need is unity, preparation and in time our dreams will come to fruition. It is normal to be disillusioned at this time, but we will not give up........
DeleteLet us also become politically aware and participate positively.
So they met with the VP...where was buhari at that time?
ReplyDeleteDrinking kunu after rehearsing such a heartfelt speech
DeletePresident Buhari is synonymous to NYSC certificate, its required to own one, but never really useful... also surfaces once in a long while, and covered in dust.
DeleteWhere is the President that gave Speech yesterday?
ReplyDeleteThe army says the videos were photoshopped
ReplyDeleteGovernment is silent on the Lekki shootings
The army denied the shootings happened in their Instagram account and is asking for who authorized the shootings
These smart alec's are passing the buck to the state
They gave the order and are trying to make it look like it was Sanwo or Bourdillon
Only the CinC would give that order
Bourdillon was smart enough to run he knew their actions would turn his people against him and end his 2023 ambition
Good thing he ran
Seyi don Japa with him immediate family too
These guys are master planners
Stop burning your cities and restrategize.
These guys are fcking master planners
Loud it!
Delete08:35 so true!
DeleteUnfortunately, Tinubu GREEDILY played into their hands and led his people to their waterloo.
One man's UNBRIDLED QUEST FOR POWER has jeopardised the safety and future of his people.
Apt
DeleteWhere is the president?
ReplyDeleteThere is none. What they say you have is "THE PRESIDENCY ".
DeleteA "saint" in the camp of the enemy is a betrayal.
ReplyDeleteCopied.
Why meet with the VP and not with Buhari? The whole world believed what happened was real except our leaders. Hmmm
ReplyDeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteSomething is wrong, why is every live meeting directed to VP Osibanjo and all the recorded ones with bubu
