Recall that on Monday, May 15, the US announced that it has imposed a visa restriction on some Nigerians who undermined the democratic process during the 2023 presidential election.

This followed a call to the Bola Tinubu who was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

In a tweet, the United States Secretary of State Anthony J. Blinken revealed that he placed a call to Tinubu on Tuesday, May 16, and emphasized the continued commitment to further strengthening the U.S.

Reacting to the call to Tinubu, Guterman in a message to supporters of Peter Obi, he noted that the US State Department do not reflect his relationship to Nigeria.

He tweeted; "To my fellow Obidents; @SecBlinken, the U.S. @StateDept, and @POTUS Joe Biden do NOT represent my relationship to Nigeria. Needless to say that I am disgusted by Blinken's call to Tinubu, a bastard drug trafficker."
