The Federal Government says whatever action taken against anyone who undermines the nation’s democracy, watered by the blood of many patriots, is right and justified.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, stated this on Monday in Abuja at the 20th edition of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), Administration Scorecard Series (2015-2023).
Mohammed was responding to the decision by the United States of America to slam a visa ban on some Nigerians believed to be responsible for, or complicit in undermining democracy in Nigeria.
The decision was announced in a statement recently issued by the The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.
The minister reiterated the position of the Buhari administration to ensure free, fair and credible elections as well as a smooth handover to a successor elected by Nigerians in May 29.
“As a government, we are proud to say that no administration, since Nigeria’s return to democratic rule in 1999, has shown more fidelity to the democratic process than ours.
“No President, since 1999, has been as unambiguous as President Muhammadu Buhari, in word and in deed, with regards to leaving office after the constitutionally-stipulated two terms,” he said
