My Mokwugwo Solomon, Awka


A notable Nigerian cleric, Pastor Jerry Nwachukwu, has hailed the United States of America (USA) for imposing visa ban on Nigerians accused of undermining democratic processes during the 2023 general elections in the country.

The USA slammed visa ban on the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu; Governor Yeso Wike of Rivers state, MC Oluomo, among others.

The US, through its Secretary of State, Antony Binken, announced on Monday, May 15 that those affected by the visa ban are Nigerians who intimidated voters through threats and physical violence, as well as those that manipulated voter results and other activities that undermined democratic processes in the country.

In an exclusive chat with our correspondent on Tuesday, May 16, Pastor Nwachukwu, who is the Senior Pastor of the Bible Base Miracle Assembly, Nkpor Agu, Idemili North local government area of Anambra state, hailed the United States, describing the move as timely, adding that it will serve as deterrent to other corrupt politicians.

He said, "I wholeheartedly support the move by the United States to sanction corrupt Nigerians, who undermined the 2023 general elections. It is heartwarming that the United States recognized that the process was far from being credible, free and fair, and far from the expectation of the Nigerian people.

"If the US, who are humans will realize the enormity of injustice meted on the Nigerian people by some politicians during the 2023 general elections, how much more then would God, the hater of injustice, punish such politicians in this life, and in the life to come?

"The United States should ensure that it walks its talk by even going beyond the visa ban. It will not end there - in the life to come, God will also invoke His wrath on them in the hell fire. The enormity of injustice meted on Nigerian masses as far as the 2023 election is concerned is much. It is heartbreaking! Every punishment humanly possible should be meted on them to serve as deterrent to others who may contemplate such evil in the future."

The notable pastor also urged the US and the international community to stand solidly behind the Nigerian people, in order to ensure that the Presidential Election Tribunal and the Supreme Court do the right thing by restoring the popular mandate, especially as it concerns presidential election.

God will also invoke His wrath on them in the hell fire

Supreme court should ban them from holding or running for public positions.
