US should extend visa ban to family members of election riggers, others – Convener, Concerned Nigerians, Adeyanju

that the United States of America should impose stiffer sanctions on sponsors, families and beneficiaries of electoral violence in Nigeriayou satisfied with the visa restrictions imposed by the United States on alleged sponsors of violence during the Kogi and Bayelsa governorship polls?

Yes, the issue of state sovereignty does not cover state governors, but only heads of states. What we appeal to the US to do is to allow indicted persons, like the service chiefs, senior police officers and INEC commissioners, access to the US or the UK, then arrest and prosecute them. That will serve as a deterrent to the current and future leaders that their actions have consequences.

Do you believe the US has the moral authority to wield such a big stick when it is equally grappling with similar electoral issues, albeit at a lower degree? Didn’t Buhari say this when the election was rigged in Kogi State? Didn’t Buhari say the same thing when the election was rigged in Bayelsa and he hugged the people that rigged the election? Who takes the President seriously when it comes to electoral reforms? If Buhari is serious, he should sign the Electoral Amendment Bill into law. He is not ready for free and fair elections from which he benefitted in 2015.

As I said, the US, the UK and the EU support INEC with millions of dollars and also provide manpower and vehicles. They have been supporting us for over 20 years and I have participated in several programmes organised by these partners to deepen the electoral process in the country. The people understand our electoral system and the political actors. Having tried various measures, they must resort to sanctions.

That is not the solution the situation is even worse now but I stand my ground with fellow suffering Nigerians we need a leader without a criminal record

What should US do to her tax evasion President?

This is one of the best things that can happen to Nigeria at this time.

Nigeria needs to experience more of this in other areas.

Visa bans don’t change the fact that elections were rigged, millions of Nigerians who never rigged or even corrupt don’t get us visas so what’s the force on visa bans? and what punishment comes out of a visa ban? Not to be able to visit a country!!!! What a joke of a headliner.

The more reason they conducted themselves during Edo election to avoid visa Ban....USA do them shege

They should also extend the Visa Ban to every looters of the Nigeria's Treasury.....

US is worse than Nigeria at the moment. Ravaged by the pandemic, daily talk of election riggings, deeply racist country, police killings. Who want to go to that country?

And also the fraudulence NGOs

Tell thesame USA to resolve their own biggest election issues

Kilode It's too much na

Ode

The US ban should also be extended to NLC &TUC leaders for betraying Nigerians. Corruption everywhere, which way Nigeria!

It should be extended abeg

Yes

👀

That’s exactly what I also envisage.

Am in support too.....

👍

Seconded

Our media house is getting worse day by day ooo... Visa ban is now a new song... Deji!!! Hmmmmmm

Convener, Concerned Nigerians indeed! 🙄🙄

chosensomto USinNigeria NigeriaSenate aishambuhari & her boyfriend

They should Extend it to Labour union leaders, some student Union Leaders and some religious leaders Sef

If you people have nothing important to report on, go to the various villages and report the challenges young hardworking men and women face from flood and how it affects agric yield. Instead of telling us what one political jobber said on Twitter

The Ban isn't just for the Politicians ooo. Its for them and their family members.

Why do you like glorifying the USA? I would rather we find a way of putting people who rig elections in jail for life. What if the riggers are doing so in the interest of the USA?

AdeyanjuDeji ought to have known that USinNigeria or UKinNigeria impugned the sovereignty of the Nigerian dominion a fortiori judicial processes by indicting and condemning Nigerians for electoral offences in the absence of a court of law in accordance with the Electoral Act.
