Paul Ibe, a media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has said the New York Times report on the United States airstrikes in Sokoto has shown that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is “screwed” up.
Ibe made the remark while reacting to a report by The New
York Times suggesting that a screwdriver salesman in Onitsha supplied
intelligence that led to US into attacking Sokoto State.
He described the situation as evidence of what he called
deep dysfunction within the Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress, APC,
government.
Posting on X, Ibe noted that the Federal Government had
stated that the intelligence used for the operation was provided by Nigeria.
Ibe questioned the credibility of the intelligence-gathering
process and suggested that Nigeria’s reported $9 million lobbying contract with
a US firm under the Tinubu administration may already be having negative
consequences.
He wrote: “If we are to believe the @nytimes report hat a
screwdriver salesman in Onitsha provided the intelligence that was used in the
US military strike on terrorists camp in Sokoto underscores how screwed up the
Tinubu-led APC administration is.
“The Federal Government said, and it was confirmed by the US
authorities that the intelligence for the strike was provided by Nigeria.
“Are we to believe that Tinubu’s $9 million contract with a
US lobby firm is already at work screwing things up? #Screwedup.”
