• Cambell  said the current president won the highest number of votes in all the elections he’s contested in

A former US Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari won the last three elections he contested in but was rigged out by his opponents.

Campbell said he arrived at this conclusion after talking with people who were intimately connected to the entire electoral process, which includes, individuals and the NGO’s that were foreign-based and Nigerian based.

Campbell was appointed as the United States Ambassador to Nigeria by President George W. Bush and served from May 20, 2004, to November 1, 2007.

According to Cambell, the rigging took place not during the voting process but where the results were collated.

Campbell made these assertions during an interview with Channels in a video which has since gone viral.

When asked if he gathered his information from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Cambell said,

“My contact with INEC tended to be entirely at the official level, I was ambassador then.

“That meant what INEC told me was essentially their official talking points.”

When asked what he thought of President Buhari’s chances of winning re-election at the 2019 presidential election, Campbell said the president has fought corruption at the highest level.

He said,

“For every incumbent, there is the issue of enormous challenges. As part of the electoral process, every candidate makes promises that tend to be aspirational, promises of what they hope to accomplish.

“One need only look at President Barack Obama or President Donald Trump in the United States to see exactly the same phenomenon.

“In my view, President Buhari’s accomplishments have been an attack on corruption at the highest level.”
