AS THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF STATE PLACES VISA BAN ON SOME INDIVIDUALS FROM KOGI AS A RESULT OF ELECTORAL FRAUD.

 
Honestly and sincerely, I want to commend the US department of State by pulling the strings on some extremely corrupt individuals who have flagrantly undermined democracy and democratic tenets sake for selfishness, greed, and corruption.
This is coming at a time when we seek global actions in supporting democratic institutions charged with the responsibility of driving the process of electing leaders across board.
Once again, this has further vindicated our stand on one simple fact which bothers on the recklessness and absolute disdain for democracy by rouge politicians across Nigeria who would rather sponsor and harm hooligans and thugs to have people killed, burnt alive to remain in office.
Recall that the February 23rd, 2019 Presidential and National Assembly elections and the November 16 election Governorship election in Kogi State was marred by broad daylight rigging which was the only way out for the present crop of politicians in Nigeria and Kogi in particular to remain in office.
An election which gave nod to criminality, impunity, imposition, and sanctifying cultists and ritualists. An election where innocent lives were lost as a result of Police conspiracy, and INEC’s who were only interested in serving the selfish interests of deep pocket politicians for self gratification. Let this restriction be extended to the judiciary.
I want to humbly call on other nations to emulate the United States of America to impose same visa ban and restrictions on rouge politicians who would rather steal the people’s resources in their bid to desperately stay in office while neglecting the already battered and bastardized education standards, healthcare, and insecurity situations.
