US Visa Ban Is An Indictment On Buhari – Momoh

Veteran journalist and close associate of President Muhammadu Buhari, Prince Tony Momoh has said that the United States immigrant visa ban on Nigerians is an indictment on the president.

Speaking in an interview, Momoh, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, said the ban could be regarded as an indictment on the president so long as he is the president of the country at the time of the ban.

Momoh who spoke in an interview with Daily Independent when asked if the ban was an indictment on Buhari, said:

“It is an indictment on Buhari to the extent that the buck stops on his desk. It is an indictment on Nigeria but since the buck stops on Buhari’s desk; then one can say that it is an indictment on Buhari.

“When Jonathan was President, it was an indictment on him. When Obasanjo was there, an indictment on Nigeria is an indictment on Obasanjo. If for instance, if they had not shared the money meant for fighting insurgency like they did under PDP government, it wouldn’t have built up to where it is now.

“If we had equipped our police and army over the years, we wouldn’t be working as if we are just trying to build an army today. So, America is right by banning Nigeria. A lot of other countries can also ban Nigeria just as we can also place a ban on citizens of other countries coming here if we believe that their actions are inimical to the peace and development of our country.

“The US President made it clear that it is ‘America First’. So, the United States sees the world from America eyes and the interest they have in the world is the interest of America. The truth of the matter is that America does not owe any other country of the world any reason; it is what is in its own national interest that it pursues. It looks at every other country from America eyes, through America windows.”
