The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has faulted the call made by the US Secretary of the State, Antony J. Blinken, to President-elect, Bola Tinubu, describing it as unnecessary discussion.
He urged Blinken adding to allow court decide the legitimate president of Nigeria before he could relate Tinubu any one of them.
Obi, who stated this in a series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle while reacting to the conversation between Tinubu and Blinken on Friday said, “I am in disbelief that Secretary Antony Blinken 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.”
THE PLAINTRUTH reports that Blinken had pledged stronger ties between the US and Nigeria during a 20-minute telephone call to Tinubu on Tuesday.
