When they announced a drug baron as our President, what do you call that? Prideful? - Atiku Abubakar’s son questions those who are upset that Trump ‘called us disgraceful’

Atiku Abubakars son, Shehu Abubakar, has stirred widespread reactions online after questioning Nigerians who expressed outrage over former U.S. President Donald Trumps recent comments describing Nigeria as disgraceful. In a post shared on his verified X account, Shehu 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.  The tweet, which has garnered over 200,000 views, comes amid mounting controversy following Trumps threat of possible U.S. military action against Nigeria over the alleged killing of Christians, remarks that have divided public opinion both locally and internationally. While some Nigerians have condemned Trumps statement as an affront to national sovereignty, Shehu Abubakar argued that the outrage is misplaced, suggesting that Nigerians should instead reflect on the countrys leadership and governance challenges.
