A civil society group, Democracy Vanguard of Nigeria in Diaspora (DVND) on Tuesday disclosed that it has written a letter to the United States to request for Visa ban on Senators who voted against electronic transfer of election results.
The group said the action demostrates a great contempt for the Nigerian People.
In statement signed by it’s President, Timothy Sule, the group called on President Muhammadu Buhari to withhold assent on any Electoral Act bill that failed to incorporate electronic voting, order of elections to start with Governorship and State Assemblies and then Presidential and National Assemblies.
It stated: “We call on the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, African Union and all ally countries to take urgent actions to nip this brewing conflagration in the bud before it consumes the nation and creates a massive refugee crisis in the world.
“This noble intention was vehemently and vigorously challenged by some legislators from a particular zone and political party. These unpatriotic elements eventually succeeded in throwing out such a noble intention into the abyss.”
In same vein, those who exempted themselves from the chambers without a valid reason are equally reprimanded and condemned, adding that while those who were conspicuously absent are no better than those who shot the amendment down with their selfish and insensitive agenda.
