Spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
Presidential Campaign Council for the recent past elections, Daniel Bwala, has
said the latest visa restriction imposed on some politicians by the United
States is a testament that the election was rigged.
The United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, had on
Monday, revealed that his government imposed visa restrictions on specific
individuals for allegedly undermining democracy during the recently-concluded
elections in Nigeria.
Speaking on the matter, the PDP chieftain who spoke on
Tuesday when he appeared on Arise Television programme, alleged that the
individuals fingered for the restriction are government functionaries.
He said, “The US visa ban for perpetrators of election
malfeasance re-emphasizes the fact that the 2023 elections were flawed.
“The majority of these select individuals are government
functionaries like governors, ministers, heads of parastatals and individuals
acting on behalf of the government”.
