Atiku Abubakar
Former Vice-President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has expressed confidence that President Joe Biden’s presidency in the United States of America will mark a new era for the regeneration of America, and her reaffirmation as the beacon of democracy to the world.
While extending his congratulation to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, he urged 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 and that threatens the peace of our sub region. “
He said: “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.
