Following the United States (US) visa ban on Nigerians engaged in rigging and intimidation of voters during the 2023 general elections; One time Kaduna Central Lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has queried the US for not listing names of Nigerians under its visa ban.
Senator Sani said this on his official Twitter handle @ShehuSani.
Recently, the US orchestrated visa restrictions on Nigerians who undermined democracy during Nigeria’s 2023 elections but did not disclose the names of those included on the visa ban list.
According to Sani, when the US imposed visa restrictions and sanctions on Russians, Syrians, Chinese, and Iranians, they disclosed their names but failed to do so on Nigerians.
The statement reads in full: “When the US is imposing visa restrictions and sanctions on Russians, Syrians, Chinese, and Iranians, they name them. When on Nigerians, they don’t name them. Is that a form of policy or courtesy?
