The United Kingdom, UK, has on Sunday, totally condemned the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, for supporting by its refusal to condemn, the violence incited by its members in the 2023 general elections that produced Bola Tinubu and other members into Political Offices,
In an interview with Nigeria Info FM, in Abuja, the British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ben Llewellyn-Jones, also faulted the APC 2023 Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, Director of New Media, Femi Fani-Kayode, for making derogatory remarks unchecked by the President Muhammadu Buhari Federal Government and his APC.
The British Envoy stated: “Yes, let us be specific, there were some people, like Femi Fani-Kayode, what is he saying and why is he saying it? I do not understand.
“It is wrong from my perspective that he will speak on behalf of a party, and that party does not distance itself from him and say stop doing that. It is wrong to say that.”
Llewellyn-Jones reiterated that the UK government will issue visa ban on Politicians that incited violence before, during and after the 2023 elections.
He added: “We have a list, we are working through our list, but we do not publish those names. I know people say we should, but we have Laws, and the Law prevents us from doing that.
“At the moment the list is between 5 and 10 and it is growing.”
