Throw Chimamanda’s Letter into Thrash Can; Tinubu Tells Joe Biden

By Kamil Opepeyemi
President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has asked the United States Government, Joe Biden to throw a letter written to him by Nigerian novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi-Adichie into a trash can.
The novelist, who is a supporter of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, had written to Biden condemning the US government congratulatory message to Tinubu over his victory at the just concluded election. Responding on behalf of Tinubu however, Bayo Onanuga, the Director of Media for his campaign, said such admonition to Biden is not worth the consideration of the US government.
In a simple, terse message posted on Twitter, Obanuga wrote, “Dear President Joe Biden, please just trash the open letter by Chimamanda on Nigeria’s election once it gets to your desk. She wrote fiction, inspired by the monumental loss of her tribesman Peter Obi.”
