Letter to Joe Biden and others Page 2

In light of the foregoing, we urge you to use your good offices in any diplomatic or legal way necessary to help us prevent those enemies of our democracy from tearing it down. We hereby demand as follows;

Let the Peoples’ Votes Count: INEC must revert to counting all votes cast, tabulated and announced at the polling booths on February 25, 2023 presidential elections and strictly follow their guidelines and the 2022 Electoral Law as amended.
The INEC Chairman must step aside.
Return of the Peoples’ Mandate: It is obvious that the INEC declared winner of the February 25, 2023 presidential elections, Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not win the elections. Mr. Tinubu did not meet the 25% of votes cast in Abuja, and therefore could not have been declared winner in the first place.
No Presidential Inauguration on May 29, 2023. Mr. Tinubu has an outrageous political baggage and his inauguration while these issues persist in court would be a major affront to Nigerians and the Nigerian Constitution.
Visa Ban: All Nigerian individuals and their immediate family who participated in the rape of democracy during these elections must be placed on an indefinite US Visa ban. A list of these individuals is attached.

The last thing Tinubu needs at the moment is bloody unrest”.

The source who expressed shock when the petition was submitted to the SSS stated “it will ignite instead of douse tension”. Keyamo remains an aide to President Muhammadu Buhari and according to the source, may share the same sentiment as his principal.

Those inciting violence have nothing to gain as doing so will not only consume them but also the innocent. It is otherwise disturbing to see respected personalities use their platforms to mislead or incite citizens. This, to say the least, does not augur well for peaceful coexistence and general order.
