Daily Post had reported that Blinken 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.
“I am in disbelief that @SecBlinken called Tinubu, a contradiction to the publicly stated position of the US on Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election. This is inconceivable considering that America, as the bastion of democracy, is well briefed on the sham election of February 25.
“To give legitimacy to the widely acknowledged fraudulent election in Nigeria can be demoralising to citizens who have hedged their bet on democracy and the sanctity of the ballot @StateDept @POTUS @USinNigeria.”

APC keep adding to the speculation baggage they are already carrying.
ReplyDeleteApart from this fake call, what's with them refusing the live broadcast of the tribunal proceedings?
Why not let the court decide if they would allow it or not?
To support APC is serious hardwork , I can't deal.
Can you prove it that it was a fake call? The same Thomas of your kind were in doubt when TINUBU's name came up as one of the 100 most influential people in the world and your favourites were not mentioned. Losers have been known to be lamenting and you and yours sincerely have proven that to be true!! Sorry for your loss, Tinubu remains the President elect of Nigeria. Eni amo ri oba ku
DeleteAtiku is fraud and we all know that even the US would rather work with Tinubu than Atiku-Obi in one piece! They both contested 2019 and lost woefully, they didn't call on US not to congratulate Buhari. How does one even think that all these fractions of different political party coming out of one party will yield positive results at the presidential level? Common comrades! The election was won because of the vulnerable situation PDP/LP placed themselves. May GOD bless the President Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
DeleteHow did you know it is fake and Atiku will still comment anyway go to us embassy website in Nigeria it is there
DeleteAnd as for live brocast it is left for the parties to agree because it has never been done before and nothing that says in the electoral act that is it should be done,as LP and PDP has reasons why they want it done so APC ,INEC hàs reasons part of it is that with these hooligans taking over Labour party the lives of witness are on danger
DeleteLol! O dun, o fe ke. Sorry bro, the winner takes it all.
