Reacting, Atiku in a series of tweets, said he was confident
Joe Biden’s tenure will mark America’s regeneration and her reaffirmation as
the beacon of democracy to the world.
”As I congratulate President Biden and @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,” he wrote.
