He said:
"I wholeheartedly support the move by the United States to sanction corrupt Nigerians, who undermined the 2023 general elections. It is heartwarming that the United States recognized that the process was far from being credible, free and fair, and far from the expectation of the Nigerian people.
"If the US, who are humans will realize the enormity of injustice meted on the Nigerian people by some politicians during the 2023 general elections, how much more then would God, the hater of injustice, punish such politicians in this life, and in the life to come?
Ensure the sanction goes beyond visa ban, Nwachukwu urges US govt
The cleric urged the US government to ensure they match their words with action and goo beyond just issuing a visa ban.
According to Nwachukwu, hell awaits the people who undermined the democratic process in the last general elections, which were held on Saturday, February 25 and Saturday, March, 18.
"The United States should ensure that it walks its talk by even going beyond the visa ban. It will not end there - in the life to come, God will also invoke His wrath on them in the hell fire. The enormity of injustice meted on Nigerian masses as far as the 2023 election is concerned is much. It is heartbreaking! Every punishment humanly possible should be meted on them to serve as deterrent to others who may contemplate such evil in the future."
Stand by Nigerians to ensure Presidential Election Tribunal, Supreme Court do the right
The notable pastor also urged the US and the international community to stand solidly behind the Nigerian people.
He said this would ensure that the Presidential Election Tribunal and the Supreme Court do the right thing by restoring the popular mandate, especially as it concerns the presidential election.
