The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Kwankwaso’s party, yesterday expressed shock over the reports that the US Congress is considering a bill, which named the party’s national leader, alongside others for potential targeted sanctions.
This followed a new bill introduced in the US House of Representatives seeking sweeping oversight measures, including the imposition of a visa ban and asset seizure on former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, over what the bill described as systemic religious persecution and mass atrocities in Nigeria.
