The united Sates has criticized Nigeria for granting a pardon to
Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, former governor of Bayelsa and political
associate of the president.
In a Twitter post on Friday, the US embassy in Nigeria said it was
"deeply disappointed" over the pardon to Alamieyeseigha, impeached and
then sent to jail during the Obasanjo presidency for stealing billions
of his people's money.
The embassy said, "we see this as a setback in the fight against corruption."
Nigeria
has consistently ranked at the top of most corrupt countries of the
world and this pardon will help to soil the image of the country as a
place where corruption is not only common place, but is tolerated and
perhaps rewarded
