Recall that the American Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, in a statement on Monday, said the US government is planning to slam visa ban on some individuals for undermining the 2023 polls.

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani has slammed the United States for living in contradiction.

He was reacting after the United States Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, in a statement on Monday, said the US government is planning to slam visa ban on some individuals for undermining the 2023 polls.

Bliken said the individuals that will be affected by the visa ban have been involved in the intimidation of voters through threats and physical violence, the manipulation of vote results, and other activities.

The US Secretary stated that the visa restrictions are specific to certain individuals and are not directed at the Nigerian people or the government of Nigeria as a whole.

However, Blinken also had a conversation with President-elect, Bola Tinubu after the statement.

Sani on Tuesday accused US of applying double standard in dealing with countries.

He wrote: “Nigeria’s Election: The US will live in contradiction; To punish those who rigged the elections and to drink coffee with those who benefited from the rigging.”
