US visa bans imposed on Nigerians who undermined elections
This was announced by the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken in a tweet on Monday, May 15, 2023.
Antony Blinken stated that the US government is interested in and committed to supporting Nigerian aspirations to strengthen democracy and the rule of law.
“We have imposed visa restrictions on specific individuals who undermined the democratic process during Nigeria’s 2023 elections. We remain committed to supporting Nigerian aspirations to strengthen democracy and rule of law,” he wrote.
The American government had placed similar visa bans on Nigerian politicians in the past.
