The Monaco left back has urged
his countrymen to not allow
themselves be divided by politics
as they vote in Saturday’s
presidential and parliamentary
elections
Monaco defender
Elderson Echiejile
has urged for
peaceful polls in
Nigeria as the
country votes in presidential and
parliamentary elections on
Saturday.
The elections come six weeks
late after they were postponed
due to security concerns in the
north eastern part of the country
where terrorist group Boko
Haram has held sway until
recently.
This year’s election has been the
closest in Africa's most populated
country since the return to
civilian rule in 1999, and has
been tipped to go to the wire,
leaving the country divided
between supporters of the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party and the
main opposition All Progressives
Congress.
Echiejile, who was part of the
Nigeria squad that won the 2013
Africa Cup of Nations title in
South Africa, tweeted on Friday
evening: “As we go to the polls
tomorrow, it is important for us
all to have the interest of the
nation at heart. Let's #
OneIndivisibleNigeria.
“Nigeria is ours, we can't afford
to let our cultural or religious
differences split us. #

Echiejile’s Monaco has qualified
to play in the quarter final of the
Uefa Champions League after
seeing off opponents Arsenal in
the knockout round.
As we go to the polls
tomorrow, it is important

heart. Let's #
