President Bola Tinubu has condemned the assassination attempt on the former United States President, Donald Trump.
Tinubu’s comments came after an assassination attempt on Trump at a political rally on Saturday, July 13, 2024, in Pennsylvania, US.
Trump who escaped the gunshot was taken away by whiskers saying, “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed that 20-year-old Thomas Crooks had fired multiple gunshots, killing one while two others sustained injuries.
According to Tinubu, ”The attack on former President Donald Trump is distasteful and goes beyond the pale of democratic norms. Violence has no place in democracy.
I extend my sympathies to the former President and wish him relief. I also condole with the family of the deceased and those wounded and wish them a quick recovery.
Nigeria stands in solidarity with the United States of America at this time.”
