They are to observe. Nigerian laws can not be the same as EU laws because they have different environments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Rivers State, the EU\u2019s report was different from what transpired there. How can people who believe in democracy and practice it be portrayed as people who do not understand democracy?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur concern should be how to make the economy grow better, we have to cooperate and agree on specific areas of development in the Federal Capital Territory and the entire country. Foreign partners should be concerned with strategic development irrespective of the areas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union Ambassador to Nigeria, Samuela Isopi, while responding, said the report was put together by independent observers and has nothing to do with her operations.<\/p>\n<p>She pledged the Union\u2019s commitment to work with the Minister to boost development in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Says the report did not give the true position of the last election held in the Nigeria Says EU was
