President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has fired back at former U.S. President Donald Trump following remarks that described Nigeria as a “disgraced country” and hinted at possible action if the United States’ demands regarding aid and radical groups were not met. Through his official spokesperson, Tinubu rejected the comments outright, asserting Nigeria’s sovereignty and its right to govern internal affairs without foreign interference.

In a direct and unprecedented move, the Presidency has demanded a formal apology from the United States within 24 hours. Failure to comply, the statement warns, will compel Nigeria to take all necessary measures to defend its dignity, including potential military action. Furthermore, the statement made it clear that should America refuse to apologize, it would be used as a global scapegoat, sending a powerful warning that Nigeria is not a nation to be trifled with or disrespected.

The statement also highlighted President Tinubu’s economic reforms, which the administration claims have strengthened the country’s foundations. These include the removal of petrol subsidies, the unification of the naira, and debt management policies. While the President boasts of these achievements, critics point out the sharp increases in fuel and transportation costs, rising inflation, and growing debt obligations that ordinary Nigerians are now facing. Despite the backlash, the Presidency maintains that these reforms are part of a long-term plan for national growth and resilience.

By combining a bold challenge to the United States with a public display of Nigeria’s internal policies, the statement serves both as a warning and a showcase of the administration’s self-assured stance. While reaffirming a commitment to constructive diplomacy, the Presidency emphasizes that respect is non-negotiable and that Nigeria will defend its national dignity and sovereignty at all costs.

Not the Tinubu that we all know and certainly not the presidency that has sent a delegation to beg for “cooperation” and soft medal in the US, can say this.
