Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, have explained why Saturday’s election in Edo State was judged free and
fair.
Incumbent Governor, Godwin Obaseki returned elected on
Saturday, defeating Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the All Progressives Congress,
APC.
Kanu believes a free and fair election in Edo State became
possible because of the threat of visa ban recently made by the US Ambassador
to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard.
Last Monday, the US government announced the ban on some
Nigerians, who undermined the country’s democracy by involving in election
rigging.
And displaying Mrs Leonard’s picture on his Facebook page,
the IPOB leader said, “This is the courageous US Ambassador to Nigeria that
delivered the first truly free and fair elections in the history of Nigeria in
Edo State yesterday. Something the EU & UK have failed to do for over 60
years.

“This amazing woman imposed an ordinary visa ban on
perennial election riggers and they quickly behaved themselves. Add a bit of
Nyesom Wike and the tenacity of Igodomigodo and you have the perfect result.”
