Bayelsa Election: We Hope That Violence Will Not Continue – US Consul General

The United States Government says they hope that the gubernatorial election set to hold in Bayelsa State on Saturday will be free of violence.

Claire Pierangelo, United States Consul General to Nigeria on Thursday said although security operatives are already deployed to Bayelsa State, the question remains whether peace will be maintained.

The US government stressed it is also important for political parties and their leaders to send messages to their followers that they are responsible for keeping peace in Bayelsa as well.
