I Am In Disbelief Blinken Called Tinubu After A Fraudulent Election - Atiku

 

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has expressed surprise that a call happened between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and President-elect, Bola Tinubu.

 

Recall that Blinken had during a call with Tinubu on Wednesday assured the Nigerian President-elect of the U.S. commitment to further strengthening the U.S.-Nigeria relationship with the incoming administration.

 

The Secretary noted that the U.S.-Nigeria partnership was built on shared interests and strong people-to-people ties and that those links should continue to strengthen under President-elect Tinubu’s tenure.

 

But Atiku in a tweet on Wednesday expressed disbelief, saying the call was a contradiction to the publicly stated position of the US on Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election.

 

According to him, acknowledging the 2023 presidential election result can be demoralising to citizens.
