A former National Publicity Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank has commended the United States
government for imposing Visa ban on those who undermined democracy during the
2023 general elections.
He said the news was a delight to ordinary Nigerians whose
rights and fate were being determined by the criminal politicians.
The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had on Monday in a
statement said, “The United States is committed to supporting and advancing
democracy in Nigeria and around the world.
“Today, I am announcing that we have taken steps to impose
visa restrictions on specific individuals in Nigeria for undermining the
democratic process during Nigeria’s 2023 elections cycle.”
Reacting to the development in a statement issued , Tuesday,
Frank called on the United Kingdom and the European Union to follow suit in
punishing fraudulent and compromised individuals who participated in
undermining the 2023 general elections in Nigeria.
He said: “The decision of the US has once again given us
hope, that the era of brazenly undermining the process of a democratic exercise
will have dire consequences
“It is indeed a wake up call for all other political actors
who have mastered the art of sabotaging and scuttling democratic electioneering
processes for personal gains.
“The US has proven once again that it indeed has the
interest of the Nigerian people in ensuring that democracy thrives unhindered
to the benefit of the people.”
Frank further urged the government of America to extend a
similar ban to the families and cronies of those individuals currently in the
US to serve as a deterrent to all crooked politicians.
He noted that the US must beam its searchlights on all
collaborators and conspirators who participated actively in disenfranchising
the people.
