The repercussion is here, in essence, Abba Kyari\u2019s saga could be the backlash of the Federal Government turning down the US call to reverse the Twitter ban.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnknown to many, American prosecutors first sought a court warrant to arrest Kyari on February 12, 2021, another warrant was requested on April 29, 2021, but these were turned down by the Judge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJudge Wright\u2019s permission for the FBI to arrest Mr.Kyari and hold him in United States custody was unsealed on July 26. There is always a price to pay when the right thing is not done at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of Buhari\u2019s Aides, Advisers, and Ministers are not well-groomed in international diplomacy. The Federal Government should expect more of these from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast week the FBI agents had a second meeting with Nigeria\u2019s Police IG to demand Abba Kyari\u2019s arrest and extradition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne will strictly advise the Federal Government to release Abba Kyari to the FBI. Currently, the Federal Government wants Igboho extradited to Nigeria from the Benin Republic, there is therefore no basis to withhold Abba Kyari from facing trial in the US.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the few weeks to come there will be more revelations that may portray the Presidency in a bad light. The United States has classified Buhari\u2019s Government as being rude and unfriendly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these could be traced to the Twitter ban and some other developments aimed at gagging press freedom. Refusal to release Abba Kyari will certainly not help the already strained relationship between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet Abba Kyari go and defend himself, after all, a clean conscience fears no accusation. The earlier the better for Buhari\u2019s to know that Nigeria cannot stand alone. The Twitter ban should be reversed forthwith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPress freedom should not be tampered with, the United States should not be pushed to expose hidden things about this government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe US government knows a lot about Buhari\u2019s government that will shock many Nigerians. However, for reasons best known to them, they have decided to keep mute.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
