The United States (U.S.) Department has announced its intention to impose visa restrictions on Nigerians who were involved in trying to undermine democracy in the concluded Nigeria’s 2019 presidential and parliamentary elections.
It would be recalled that the election ushered in President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term in office in February in an election characterized by logistical problems, violence and killings.
The department was quick to point out that the ban will not affect all Nigerians but it clearly pointed out that it was for those who disrupted the process of the elections.
The spokes woman of the department, Morgan Ortagus was quoted saying: “These individuals have operated with impunity at the expense of the Nigerian people and undermined democratic principles and human rights”.
