The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has been attacked by alleged members of opposition party over his comments on the phone conversation between the United States Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, and President-elect Bola Tinubu.
Recall that INFORMATION NIGERIA earlier reported that Bliken called Tinubu on Tuesday on the phone that the Joe Biden administration is committed to strengthening ties with Nigeria.
The US Secretary stated that the U.S.-Nigeria partnership is built on shared interests and strong people-to-people ties and that those links should continue strengthening under Tinubu’s tenure.
However, Bliken and Tinubu also discussed the importance of inclusive leadership that represents all Nigerians and reforms to support the economic growth of Nigeria.
Reacting in a statement via his official Twitter handle on Friday, Obi said there is a lack of clarity on the basis of the U.S. Secretary of State’s call to Tinubu.
He stated that the United States should have awaited full resolution of the ongoing judicial processes before tacitly conferring legitimacy on Tinubu’s victory.
Following the development, some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Tinubu’s supporters took the comment section to slammed the former Governor of Anambra State for his statement.
