The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 23 election, Atiku Abubakar, has said that the current travel ban imposed by the United States on some politicians in Nigeria has validated his claim that the presidential election was rigged in favour of the All Progressives Congress and President Muhammadu Buhari.

The former Vice President in a statement by his media aide, Mr. Paul Ibe, on Wednesday, said he had maintained after the presidential election that the poll was not credible.

He further alleged that the leadership under Buhari and his allies engaged in propaganda to deny that the election was rigged.

According to him, after many months of allegedly living in denial, the Buhari administration was now faced with the truth in the form of a US visa ban on politicians who undermined Nigeria’s democracy.

He quoted the spokesman of the US State Department, Morgan Ortagus, as saying, “We condemn those whose acts of violence, intimidation, or corruption harmed Nigerians or undermined the democratic process.

“The Secretary of State is imposing visa restrictions on Nigerians believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining democracy in Nigeria. These individuals have operated with impunity at the expense of the Nigerian people and undermined democratic principles and human rights.”

Atiku said the above statement supported his position that the 2019 elections were ‘undermined by the actions of state actors and institutions.

He said, “We also wish to thank the United States of America for standing with the Nigerian people against those whose desire is to truncate our democracy.



“We urge the Nigerian people not to despair. There is hope on the horizon. There is light at the end of the tunnel. The myriad of security, economic and social challenges Nigeria currently faces, which has resulted in our nation becoming the world headquarters for extreme poverty will, God willing, soon be over, with the prospect of purposeful and result-oriented leadership.”

2019 election was a mockery.
The rigging was so brazen

I strongly suspect that Buhari is one of those banned.

Nigerians should watch, President Buhari may never travel to US again except
for UN meetings and other engagements for which he has immunity

[/s]
So it is only during "meetings and other engagements" that immunity covers a president?

His family too can't travel to US.

Never had the US placed travel ban on political figures after elections in the history of Nigeria till now. An empirical proof that 2019 presidential elections was a charade.

BuhariApC are bunch of criminals.

They would soon learn the hard way

What is your business with trump?. You guys should buried your heads shame. No one condenm what is wrong anymore because of mere benefits and religion beliefs, mind you, we are all going to suffer this clueless adminstration led by buhari.
It's high time we look beyond party affiliation because these people doesn't mean well for the common man, yet we fight and abuse each other every day on this forum but on the outside we never speak one voice. So long as this mess continue to exist your generation yet unborn will suffer it.
Come to think of it what led to the recent kiilings by ritualist ? No sane man we think of taking another man's life. Pls be of good cheer, our contributions here can inspire someone, we should address the issue on ground not hating someone, we all have our own responsibility to carry out. Be a voice.
