“We Elected a Drug Baron”- Atiku’s Son Slams Nigerians Upset Over Trump’s Comment

Atiku Abubakar’s son, Shehu Abubakar, has criticized Nigerians expressing outrage over U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remark describing Nigeria as “disgraceful.”

Taking to X, Shehu faulted the public reaction, questioning why people were offended when, according to him, Nigerians had already accepted questionable leadership.

He wrote:

“Why are some upset that Donald Trump called us disgraceful? When they announced a drug baron as our President, what do you call that? Prideful? I know it hurts our pride as a nation, but we have to first look inwards and hold ourselves accountable before we accuse outsiders.”

His post, which has attracted over 200,000 views, comes amid heated debate following Trump’s threat of possible U.S. military action against Nigeria over alleged persecution of Christian.
