Tinubu Congratulates Trump on Re-election and Seeks Stronger US-Nigeria Relations
President Bola Tinubu extends his warmest congratulations to President Donald Trump on his re-election as the 47th President of the United States.
Tinubu expressed optimism about the renewed partnership between Nigeria and the United States, envisioning a strengthened relationship that meets the complex needs of today’s world.
In his congratulatory message, President Tinubu highlighted his commitment to fostering a productive alliance with the United States under Trump’s leadership.
He noted the potential for Nigeria and the U.S. to enhance economic collaboration, support peace initiatives, and tackle shared global challenges that impact both nations.
He emphasized, “Together, we have the opportunity to create sustainable economic cooperation, promote peace, and address the pressing global issues that touch the lives of our citizens.”
Tinubu’s message also conveyed his admiration for the democratic process in the U.S., acknowledging the American people’s trust in Trump’s vision for the nation.
He praised the resilience and determination of American voters in upholding democratic principles, recognizing Trump’s victory as a reflection of their confidence in his leadership.
The Nigerian president further remarked on Trump’s prior experience as the 45th U.S. president from 2017 to 2021, stating that this background equips him with valuable insights and strategies to navigate current global issues.
Tinubu is hopeful that Trump’s return to the White House will pave the way for a new chapter of mutually beneficial partnerships between Africa and the United States.
He expressed faith in Trump’s ability to leverage this opportunity to create meaningful development initiatives that support Africa’s growth and contribute to its stability.
President Tinubu also acknowledged the United States’ global influence, highlighting its unique role in shaping international trends and policies.
He voiced confidence that under Trump’s leadership, the U.S. will continue to work toward building a peaceful and prosperous world.
Tinubu concluded by expressing his hope for a collaborative future, one where Nigeria and the United States can work together to confront global challenges, advance shared interests, and strengthen their long-standing ties for the benefit of both nations and their citizens.
First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared that she has forgiven those who betrayed her husband during the 2023 general elections.
She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”
Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.
According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.
“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”
Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.
“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
Nigerian singer, Charly Boy, has spoken on the resumption of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as she resumed her duties in the National Assembly after her suspension.
The singer took to social media to show his support for the senator, praising her while warning others, including Akpabio, that she is not someone to be easily dealt with.
He wrote “Una don hear say Senator Natasha don enter National Assembly? You can’t mess with an Alpha woman like that. It seems like they have exhausted their lies; the only available option is to unseal or face international sanctions. Akpabio, be careful next time, no be all women be ntanta.”
