Oba Oniru of Iru Land and Oba Elegushi Banned from U.S. Over 2023 Elections Threats.
Two Popular Yourba Obas who are Diehard Supporters of Tinubu, Banned from U.S. Over 2023 Elections Threats
In a significant development, Oba Abdulwasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, former Aide De Camp (ADC) to Bola Tinubu, and Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi, Senior Special Assistant to Tinubu, have been banned from entering the United States of America. This decision comes in the wake of their alleged involvement in threatening voters during the 2023 Presidential elections.
The U.S. government, acting on concerns related to the integrity of the democratic process, issued letters of visa cancellations and bans to these influential monarchs last week. Oba Lawal, known for his close association with Tinubu, served as a prominent figure during the elections, raising questions about the tactics employed by some political circles.
Both Oba Oniru and Oba Elegushi, staunch supporters of Tinubu, are now under scrutiny for their alleged roles in undermining the democratic principles. The ban reflects the seriousness with which the U.S. authorities are addressing any attempts to manipulate or threaten the democratic process.

This move by the U.S. underscores the global scrutiny placed on individuals who may compromise the democratic values that nations strive to uphold.
