Help Nigeria fight terror, remove travel restrictions, Atiku urges Biden, Harris
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has sought the help of the newly inaugurated US leaders – Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. He called for their support to help Nigeria’s fight against terror and also remove all travel restrictions imposed on Nigerian citizens by the Donald Trump administration.
Atiku in a tweet said Nigeria has enjoyed good relations with the US since 1961, and US support will help nurture the nation’s democracy.
He wrote;
“As @POTUS, @JoeBiden begins his tenure as the 46th President of the United States of America, I am confident that this new era will mark America’s regeneration and her reaffirmation as the beacon of democracy to the world.
“As I congratulate President Biden and @VP, @KamalaHarris, I urge them and their administration to strengthen US-Nigeria ties, and help our beloved nation’s war on terror by providing every type of support required to win our war against the insurgency we face.
“I also look forward to the removal of every travel restriction on Nigerian citizens, in keeping with the good relations that has existed between our two nations beginning with the July 27, 1961 state visit of our first Prime Minister, Alhaji Tafawa Balewa, to President John F Kennedy, and continuing over the decades since then.
“As the playwright, George Bernard Shaw once said, America and Nigeria are two nations divided by a common language. And millions of Nigerians and I wish to see that relationship sustained to the mutual benefit of both our democratic nations.
“Congratulations once again and may God bless both our nations and bring about a beneficial tenure for your administration.”
that will be good news and we will be very grateful for any help he can render us cuz this president is not useful at all….
Even before saying it has already removed travel and to finding solution to terrorism in the our I hope he will listen to us and assist us.
He (president Joe Biden) can’t do anything unless we are ready to seek his assistant and allow them to do their work without interfering.
Even with what America president did yesterday with the little time he was sworn in, I hope world is going to enjoy him and I Nigeria will work with him.
I hope the presidency will do the needful and seek for his assistant without listen to the saboteur that won’t want the insecurity to become an history in the country.
We pray the American government will be beneficial to our nation.
Once again congratulations Joe
I believe he heard you,and we will do something.
