Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Public Affairs, to governor Sule of Nasarawa State, Peter Ahemba, has denied any wrongdoing by his principal, the governor of Nasarawa State to warrant a visa ban from any quarters.
Ahemba, in response to demands by the Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), to impose a travel ban on Governor Abdullahi Sule, said the Governor Sule has not committed any offense that would warrant such an international restriction.
The SSA went on to condemn in strong terms the allegations against the governor in the past few days, describing them as both baseless and laughable.
Peter further accused the CLO of collaborating with the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suggesting a political motive behind the allegations.
“Such groups are window dressers working with PDP to authenticate the fraud perpetrated by the party during the general elections,” Ahemba said.
DAILY POST had reported that the Civil Liberties Organization (CLO), a human rights group, had petitioned the international community through their various embassies to impose strict sanctions and visa bans on Governor Abdullahi Sule and Ishaya Tanko, the returning officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state during the last election.
