Monday, November 3, 2025 - Atiku Abubakar’s son, Shehu Abubakar, has stirred widespread reactions online after questioning Nigerians who expressed outrage over former U.S. President Donald Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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 Trump’s
statement as an affront to national sovereignty, Shehu Abubakar argued that the
outrage is misplaced, suggesting that Nigerians should instead reflect on the
country’s leadership and governance challenges.
