Presidency Denies Viral Trump Post Criticizing Tinubu
The Nigerian Presidency has dismissed as false a viral social media post claiming US President Donald Trump criticized President Bola Tinubu's handling of insecurity. The post alleged Trump called Nigeria a "TOTAL DISASTER" and criticized Tinubu for being abroad during attacks in Maiduguri, urging border closures. Presidency spokesman Sunday Dare labelled the post "FAKE," stating it doesn't appear on any official Trump platforms. "Verify before you post," Dare warned. This follows Timi Frank's call for Tinubu to cancel his UK visit amid Maiduguri bombings, with APC chieftain Yakasai urging Tinubu to carry citizens along.
