Mr. Tillerson and PMB

Today, The Federal Government of Nigeria said the sack of the American Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson who was in Nigeria on Monday, by President Donald Trump will have no negative effect on Nigeria as Government is continuum.

This was said by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, while Briefing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting presided over by the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said, “Rex Tillerson sack won’t affect (Nigeria) because government is a continuum as we all know.

“When he came, it was the United States that was speaking and clearly we expect that with every expectation that everything he has said about relationship between the US and Nigeria  reflects the position of the United States and reflects the position of the president of the United States, so we don’t see any change happening.”
