President Tinubu's detractors desperately hoped President Trump would isolate Nigeria like Venezuela, but instead, we're forging stronger ties with the United States and securing vital military support to protect our sovereignty. This is bold, result-oriented leadership that rebuilds trust, prioritizes Nigeria's interests, and delivers real progress! Thank you, Mr. President @officialABAT for handling the matter wisely and for allow NSA Ribadu traveled to the US to engage. #RenewedHopeDelivers
