Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has reacted to details
of a call between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and President-elect,
Bola Tinubu.
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.”
