Slam Visa Ban On Buhari, Family After Handover, PDP Tells International Community – Lifestyle Nigeria

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the international community to impose a travel ban on President Muhammadu Buhari after he leaves office on May 29.

Addressing a press conference on Friday in Abuja, Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesperson, alleged that Buhari undermined democracy by not giving Nigerians free and credible elections.

The opposition party also asked the international community to impose travel sanctions on Bubari’s immediate family.

The party said the demand was necessary over the President’s comments on the 2023 elections, saying he was gloating over Nigeria’s worst election in recent memory.

PDP is responding to claims by President Buhari that the opposition lost the 2023 elections to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, because of overconfidence and lack of strategy.

The PDP further accused the President of attempting to bully the judiciary, which is currently handling electoral petitions, into giving legitimacy to a clearly flawed election, asking that the sanctions be extended to all those involved in manipulating the outcome of the 2023 elections.

According to Ologunagba, “We are not willing to surrender the mandate freely given to our party by the people irrespective of the threats, bullying and manipulation by the APC-led administration.

“Having clearly undermined democracy in Nigeria, the PDP calls on the International Community to accordingly impose sanctions, including visa ban and travel restrictions, on President Buhari and his family immediately he vacates office on May 29.

Okene Crash: FRSC Emergency Operators Rescue Road Traffic Victims

Emergency rescue teams of the Federal Road Safety Corps endured another over 3 hours of inferno in their bid to rescue road traffic victims at the scene of a fatal crash that claimed 19 lives on Sunday 28 April, 2024 at Okene bypass, on the Okene-Lokoja highway in Kogi State.

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that Assistant Corps Marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, FRSC Headquarters, Abuja, Jonas Agwu, disclosed this in a statement.

The statement read in part, “The FRSC emergency rescue teams deployed to rescue the victims could not achieve desired results as the efforts they put into the rescue operations was unduly hindered by the fire inferno that engulfed the two vehicles.

You would recall that the Corps Marshal had during his press conference on Thursday last week drawn the attention of road users to issues of imbibing moral and ethical rebirth, which have become a major issue in the country.

He warned against traffic violations citing instances where they resulted in avoidable crashes with fire outbreak, leading to wanton loss of precious lives and destruction to properties.

As a result of that he had earlier emphasised on the need for maximum penalty for these drivers. Dauda Biu reaffirmed the resolution of the Corps to continue its ongoing prosecution of drivers who by their actions cause road traffic crashes in Nigeria, noting that the driver of the truck involved in the Okene crash will not be an exception.

As such, he called on the Judiciary, leadership of transport unions and other relevant stakeholders in the road transportation sector to join hands with the Corps towards restoring sanity through speedy and effective prosecution.
