U.S. President Barack Obama is calling for free and fair elections in Nigeria this Saturday. _________________________________________________. In a video released Monday by the U.S. embassy in Abuja, President Obama said successful elections are key to stopping the insurgent group Boko Haram and allowing more than a million displaced Nigerians to return to their houses. VOA's Peter Clottey was asked about reaction to Mr. Obama's statement. “Both parties welcome it. When I spoke with them earlier today, they all referred me to an agreement that both President Goodluck Jonathan and the opposition leader General (retired) Muhammadu Buhari signed promising to ensure that their supporters do not engage in acts of violence.” VOA's Peter Clottey is covering the Nigerian election from Abuja. 美国总统贝拉克?奥巴马呼吁即将在本周六举行的尼日利亚选举要以公开公正为原则。____________________________________________________.周一美国驻阿布贾大使馆放出的一段视屏，奥巴马总统表示一次成功的选举对于阻止博科圣地叛乱分子和100多万背井离乡的尼日利亚人重返家乡至关重要。VOA记者Peter Clottey被问及对奥巴马此话的回应。 “双方都赞成这个观点。在今天早些时候对他们的采访中，他们都向我提到了Goodluck Jonathan和反对派领导 Muhammadu Buhari将军（已退休）签署的合约，他们承诺自己的支持者将不再进行任何暴力活动”。 VOA记者Peter Clottey于阿布贾为您报道尼日利亚选举。
