President Bola Tinubu has condemned the attack on the United States former President, Donald Trump.

There was an attack on Trump at a political rally on Saturday, July 13, 2024, in Pennsylvania, US, that claimed the lives of a security man and an audience member, and two individuals were critically injured.

Reacting to the attack on Sunday, Tinubu on his X (formally Twitter) described the attack as distasteful and goes beyond the pale of democratic norms.

Tinubu wrote, “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.”

Dailyeconomy reported early today that the United States of America’s former President, Barrack Obama has also reacted to the attack launched at Trump.
