Ex Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has praised the U.S.A for imposing visa limitations on Nigerians believed to be responsible for tampering with Nigeria’s democracy.
Atiku disclosed this in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, on Wednesday in Abuja.
The PDP man hailed the U.S for supporting Nigerians against undemocratic individuals.
His words, “As Nigeria marks the twentieth anniversary of a return to democratic rule this year, we remain committed to working together to continue to advance democracy and respect for human rights and achieve greater peace and prosperity for both our nations.
“We condemn those whose acts of violence, intimidation, or corruption harmed Nigerians or undermined the democratic process.
“The U.S. government said that we would consider consequences – including visa restrictions – For individuals responsible for undermining the Nigerian democratic process or for organising election-related violence.
“To that end, the Secretary of State is imposing visa restrictions on Nigerians believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining democracy in Nigeria.”
