Yahaya Bello Protests Visa Ban, Accuses U.S. Of Partisanship by obi4eze(m): 7:59pm On Sep 20, 2020 |
The Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, has protested the visa restrictions placed by the United States government on sponsors of violence in the Kogi and Bayelsa states governorship elections. The American government had imposed visa restrictions on some Nigerians for undermining electoral processes in the elections. According to Morgan Ortagus, spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, the decision also targets those accused of working to undermine the November 2019 governorship polls in Kogi and Bayelsa. “In a statement on January 24, 2019, the U.S. Government said we would consider consequences – including visa restrictions – for individuals responsible for undermining the Nigerian democratic process or for organizing election-related violence. In July 2019, we announced the imposition of visa restrictions on Nigerians who undermined the February and March 2019 elections.” “Today, the Secretary of State is imposing additional visa restrictions on individuals for their actions surrounding the November 2019 Kogi and Bayelsa State elections and in the run up to the September and October 2020 Edo and Ondo State elections.” The U.S. did not, however, make the names of the affected persons public. This development has been lauded by good governance advocates and political activists who described it as a step in the right direction. A member of the House of Representatives, Teejay Yusuf (PDP, Kogi) has said history will applaud the United States’ visa ban on some Nigerians undermining the electoral process, urging the European Union, United Kingdom and other developed nations to follow suit. PREMIUM TIMES reported how the Kogi State election was marred with different irregularities and violence. Ballot boxes were snatched and voters were intimidated by thugs in many polling units. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/415337-yahaya-bello-protests-visa-ban-accuses-u-s-of-partisanship.html |

obi4eze: Yahaya Bello, instead of making silly noises, just go to US embassy and slap the ambassador for including your name. Since in Nigeria, all you guys do is to intimidate people for speaking the truth? Just go and slap the US ambassador for to lying that it was Cameroonians that rigged Kogi elections. |
