Nigeria's attempt to secure a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council has been decisively rejected, with the country receiving only three votes in the election. In contrast, neighboring Ghana and Burundi were successfully elected with 179 and 168 votes, respectively.

Malawi, securing 182 votes, and Côte d’Ivoire, with 181 votes, were both re-elected for second terms on the council, affirming their strong positions in the global human rights arena.

The outcome of the election highlights Nigeria's struggle to gain broader support within the international community for a seat on the council, especially compared to its West African counterparts. The UN Human Rights Council is tasked with promoting and protecting human rights globally, and membership is highly coveted among nations seeking to play a key role in international diplomacy and advocacy for human rights issues.

This result marks a significant diplomatic setback for Nigeria, underscoring the country's challenges in aligning its policies and actions with global human rights standards.

No rigging of the election.

Nigeria is NOT wanted on the UNHRC!

That's good. Government that maim and murder innocent people want a seat for UN human right to do what?  Why APC did not tell INEC chairman to conduct the election, Nigeria could have secured a seat. It is nice APC  government is shaming themselves not citizens.
International organisations should take note, and reject APC government involvement in anything.
Nigerian citizens have passed Vote of No Confidence on APC government, as their activities are immoral , illegal, autocratic and totalitarian as well as inhuman.
