The President, in a message on his official X handle on Sunday, described the attack as 'distasteful and 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,' said Tinubu.
