"Dear Obidiots, In case you forgot, let me remind you that the U.S has no friends nor enemies, they only have permanent interests.
"As long as you are winning, you are a friend. Once you turn out to be a bad loser like Peter Obi, they’ll abandon you and follow the winner. A classic U.S realpolitik diplomacy."
Garba noted that the US could not afford to lose Nigerian friendship over a letter written by Chimamanda.
He added:
"They have to send a whole trade and security delegation for the swearing in ceremony of our new President, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
"The 2023 election is a success story for Nigeria’s democracy. We should all celebrate our democratic maturity."
