Tinubu talks about phone call with US Secretary Blinken

Bola Tinubu, the next president, has vowed to unite the nation and get things done as soon as he takes office on May 29. He has also pledged to maintain good relations with the United States.

The guarantees were given by the incoming Nigerian president to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the phone on Tuesday evening.

According to Tinubu, one of his top priorities right away will be to implement institutional reforms and development initiatives to strengthen democratic institutions and assist the underprivileged in Nigeria.

According to a statement by spokeswoman Tunde Rahman, he expressed a commitment to advancing Nigeria’s democracy and faithfully serving the people in his capacity as president.

During the about 20-minute presentations, Tinubu discussed his exciting time in the 1970s in America, where he earned an accounting degree with honors in 1979.

He also recalled how the US had given him sanctuary after the late General Sani Abacha’s military government exiled him as a result of his tenacious fight for democracy in Nigeria.

In addition to reiterating his commitment to democracy, Tinubu stated his unwavering conviction that the outcome of the elections, which he easily won, represented the wishes of the Nigerian people.

The former Lagos governor pledged to endeavor to bring Nigerians together and ensure that they are content and benefit from democracy and progressive good administration.

He asserted that Nigeria will not improve as a place to live or fulfill her rightful place in the community of African states without national unity, security, economic progress, and decent administration.

In order for Nigeria to set the standard and serve as an inspiration to the rest of Africa, Tinubu encouraged the US to take into account the country’s significant position in Africa and offer support in the areas of security and economic investment.

Secretary Blinken stated that Nigeria should anticipate a positive and productive partnership with the US.

A democratic and peaceful Nigeria is essential to the United States as it is to Africa, he said, promising to do his share to foster a long-lasting and friendly relationship between the two countries.
