AFRICASTALLESTMAN INTERVIEWS ANTHONY BLINKEN, THE US SECRETARY OF STATE

AFRICASTALLLSTMAN:
Good afternoon, Mr. Secretary, why did you call Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu in France to congratulate him?

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Good Afternoon, Africastallestman, Alhaji Tinubu won the recently concluded Nigerian Presidential Election.

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Are you aware that Tinubu forfeited $460,000 to the US Government?

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Yes, I am aware. Donald Trump has forfeited billions to the US Government. Yet, he became the President of the US and may return as President in 2025.

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Is Tinubu amongst those on the banned list for issuance of US visas for rigging the 2023 Nigerian Presidential Election?

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Yes, he is number one on the list, Alhaji Prof. Mahmood Yakubu is number two, and Alhaji Shettima is number three.

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Why would you congratulate riggers of an election who are on a visa restriction list?

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
America congratulates anyone chosen by any country. If Nigeria decides to choose Alhaji Anenih Onyenusi as President, America will congratulate the Alhaji.

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Why did America not congratulate Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus?

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Is Belarus in Africa?

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
No.

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Next question please.

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Do you have to congratulate him in a foreign country? This foreign country was not Nigeria’s colonial master and does not understand English.

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Isn’t the current Nigerian President rumored to be from Niger, Chad, or Sudan? Nigerians are used to foreign leadership. Where I congratulated Alhaji Tinubu is immaterial.

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Why do you hate Peter Obi of the Labor Party, the winner of the 2023 Nigeria Presidential Election ?

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Peter Obi wants to stop the importation of groundnuts from Nigeria while Tinubu shall make it illegal for Nigerians to eat groundnuts grown in Nigeria. The US prefers a President who stresses the consumption of US goods and not Peter Obi who wants to start producing in Nigeria.
Also, we can whitemail Alhaji Tinubu by issuing a warrant for his arrest. Remember, he fled the US to Nigeria to avoid arrest for drug offenses.

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Mr. Secretary, as any good American, you are looking out for America’s best interests. Now, I understand your stance. Are you suggesting that only Africans that will liberate Africa?

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Precisely.

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Is this not hypocrisy and a case of double standards? Without the French, will America have defeated Britain during the American war for independence?

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Africastallestman, you are right, without the help of the French, today,  America will be under King Charles!

AFRICASTALLLSTMAN:
America’s motto is, “In God We Trust.” How will God feel about all these American political shenanigans?

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
If the Devil can negotiate with God; if America can negotiate with China and Russia, I believe America can negotiate with God. We will bridge that river when we get there as Africastallestman will put it.

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Thank you for your time.

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Do you need an American visa?

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Yes, not for my use but I can give it to some asylum seekers from Africa.

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
I will get in contact with my Ambassadors in Africa to facilitate your request.

AFRICASTALLESTMAN:
Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

ANTHONY BLINKEN:
Have a nice day, Africastallestman.
