In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, Greene acknowledged the challenges and flaws inherent in democracy but highlighted its resilience and capacity for positive transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Greene asserted that the responsibility lies with the Nigerian electorate and the political system to hold elected officials accountable. He described the democratic system as magical, emphasizing that citizens have the power to create change when their elected representatives fail to deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to questions about potential actions beyond visa bans for politicians undermining the democratic process, Greene deferred judgment to the Nigerian people, emphasizing the importance of their role in assessing such matters.<\/p>\n<p>On the subject of electoral disputes and manipulation of election results, Greene acknowledged the messiness of democracy but stressed the need for amicable resolutions to disputes. He encouraged all parties involved to avoid violence and rely on legal and peaceful processes for dispute resolution. While recognizing that post-election disputes might lead to legal proceedings, he emphasized the importance of transparency and adherence to constitutional processes.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the issue of violence, particularly police brutality against black people, Greene assured that measures have been implemented to uphold democratic principles. He acknowledged that democracy is not perfect but emphasized the ongoing effort to live up to aspirations and values as guiding principles.<\/p>\n<p>Greene&#8217;s statements underscore the U.S.
