Clinton cancels visit to Nigeria

He was billed to deliver a goodwill message during the signing ceremony of the National Peace Accord in Abuja between February 12 and 13.

A statement that his spokesperson, Angel Ureña, said the visit could be politicised.

“It has become apparent that President Clinton’s visit to Nigeria has the potential to be politicised in a way that is not in line with the goals of the Committee.
