According to the @StateDept, Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (@inecnigeria), though supported by the United States and the European Union (@EUCouncil), has the capacity to credibly manage federal elections. Yet #INEC has demonstrated serious weaknesses in safeguarding free, fair, and credible elections when confronted with deliberate efforts by #Nigerian political actors to manipulate and undermine the voting process. This was evident during the 2023 Nigerian elections, and current developments suggest the same pattern may be emerging again.
The U.S. House and Senate are currently on Easter recess, but we are actively echoing the State Department’s assessment to key members of Congress and intend to brief congressional leadership and senior members of the U.S. National Security Council early next week. Unlike the #Biden Administration, which took no meaningful action in 2023, it is not in President Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump)’s nature to remain passive in the face of an election being openly undermined.
We will recommend to the Office of the President and Congress that Global Magnitsky sanctions (#GloMag) be imposed on any Nigerian politician or official of the @inecnigeria who engages in efforts to rig Nigeria's ongoing electoral process. These measures should include freezing all foreign assets, restricting access to the global financial system, and imposing travel bans on individuals and their immediate family members.

@SegunShowunmi Indeed we have challenges across all, but the ability to identify, believe and taking steps towards making our Nation a better place is not negotiable, we must engage our leaders at the sub- national to be productive, accountable and deliberate in human development. Respect sir.
Israel's military has said that its forces have killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in besieged Gaza. We look at how he became Israel’s ‘most wanted man’ ⤵️
If the rumors of your martyrdom are true, then revenge of your martyrdom becomes the duty of every Muslim on earth.
Your enemies are our enemies, and as long as a single Mujahid remains alive on earth, the enemies of Islam will never be safe, no matter what form they are in.
