In a series of tweets via his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday, January 20th, 2021, Atiku expressed confidence that Biden’s era will reaffirm the US as the beacon of democracy.

Atiku further urged the Biden presidency to strengthen US ties with Nigeria and to help in the country’s war on terror and remove travel restrictions placed by his predecessor, Donald J. Trump against Nigeria and other third world countries.

Atiku wrote: “As I congratulate President Biden and @VP, @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”.
