U s bans nigerias 2019 election riggers imposes visa restrictions

I think there may be some misinformation here.

To clarify, the United States government did not impose visa restrictions on Nigeria's 2019 election riggers. However, the US government did express concerns about the conduct of the 2019 Nigerian presidential election and imposed visa restrictions on some individuals believed to be responsible for undermining democracy in Nigeria.

In June 2019, the US Department of State announced that it would impose visa restrictions on individuals believed to be responsible for "undermining the democratic process" in Nigeria. This decision was made in response to concerns about the conduct of the 2019 presidential election, which was marred by allegations of vote-buying, intimidation, and other irregularities.

The visa restrictions were not specifically targeted at individuals who were accused of rigging the election, but rather at those who were believed to be responsible for undermining the democratic process more broadly. The US government has a long-standing commitment to supporting democracy and human rights around the world, and it has consistently expressed concerns about the conduct of elections in Nigeria.

It's worth noting that the Nigerian government has also taken steps to address concerns about the conduct of elections in the country. In 2019, the government established an electoral reform committee to investigate allegations of electoral fraud and recommend reforms to improve the integrity of the electoral process.
