He said: “It seems that day has come. After many months of living in denial, the Buhari regime is now faced with the truth in the form of a US visa ban on politicians who undermined Nigeria’s democracy.”
However, in its statement, the U.S. did not mention the names of the individuals that will be affected by the visa ban.
