JUST IN!!! Why US Banned Nigeria Politicians - Atiku Reveals


The Presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has revealed why the United States of America banned some Nigeria politicians, Igbere TV reports.

According to Atiku, US visa ban on politicians who “sabotaged the electoral process” is a confirmation that the election was marred by irregularities.

Igbere TV recalls that the US announced the visa restriction on Tuesday, but did not disclose the identities of those affected.

Atiku, who spoke through Paul Ibe, his media aide, said the action of the US has vindicated his position that the polls were not credible.

“It seems that day has come. After many months of living in denial, the Buhari regime is now faced with the truth in the form of a US visa ban on politicians who undermined Nigeria’s democracy,” Atiku said.

“Speaking on the ban, the US State Department in a statement by its spokesman, Morgan Ortagus on Tuesday, July 23, 2019, stated that ‘we condemn those whose acts of violence, intimidation, or corruption harmed Nigerians or undermined the democratic process.’

“Speaking further, Mr. Ortagus said, ‘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.’

“The above statement is a vindication of our position that the 2019 elections were ‘undermined’ by the actions of state actors and institutions.

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

Atiku is currently challenging Buhari’s victory at the tribunal.

Has Atiku forgot that he too cannot enter the US, so he has no rights to speak on this matter.

atiku try to seize the opportunity to shine, though people like El rufai, amaechi, MC oluomo and INEC top goons for bauchi, Kano osun should be on that list.

he was there before the elections.

If all developed countries could restrict VISA to all our leaders - both present and past - and their families, Nigeria will be great.

nzeobi:

he was there before the elections.

He went with Saraki who was the senate president then and on diplomatic passport. He should go now, and see if he won't be arrested.

Anyone that can make Nigerian leaders do the right thing is accepted and welcomed.

All of them should go and line up at the American embassy so that we will know the ones that were banned. America should also include their families. They kill Nigeria but run to other countries to enjoy life. Those countries they are running to, were they built and developed by spirits?

Without names of those politicians and how America came about their decision, it is just a child play and very unreasonable.

Is Atiku eligible to go to the US now without a Senate president enlisting him as a legislative aide?
