The United States Government has condemned the pardon granted some ex-convicts by the National Council of States headed by President Goodluck Jonathan.
On Tuesday, the former Governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreiye Alamieyeseigha, the former head of the Bank of the North, Shettima Bulama and some other Nigerians were granted a presidential pardon. However, that of Alamieyeseigha and Bulama has caused some uproar because of their records as ex-convicts.
In reaction to this, the U.S. Mission Nigeria tweeted this earlier today using the Twitter account @USEmbassyAbuja
Similarly, the
global anti-corruption organisation Transparency International has called on President Jonathan to rescind the pardon granted to Alamieyeseigha.
