Ribadu disgraced Nigeria in US, stopped Biden from meeting Tinubu – Gambaryan

 Former Binance Head of Crime Compliance, Tigran Gambaryan,
has accused the National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu of embarrassing
Nigeria in the international scene.

 

Gambaryan alleged that Ribadu’s “asshole” action stopped
former US President Joe Biden from meeting with President Bola Tinubu during
the last United Nations General Assembly, UNGA.

 

Posting on X, the former Binance executive said Ribadu also
disgraced Nigeria before the former US National Security Adviser, Jake
Sullivan.

 

According Gambaryan, Ribadu created an international mess
while overestimating his influence at the international scene.

 

Gambaryan wrote: “Ribadu even hired a US law firm to
negotiate my release, but this failed due to their incompetence and greed.

 

“Ribadu overstepped his authority and embarrassed Nigeria in
front of US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

 

“Ribadu acting like an asshole angered the White House and
led to diplomatic repercussions — the US limited visas to the Nigerian
delegation for UNGA, and Biden refused to meet with Tinubu until my situation
was resolved.

 

“In the end, Ribadu overestimated his influence. They
thought they could secure a quick win, but instead, they created an
international incident, exposing his incompetence on a global scale.

 

“That’s it for me for now. I don’t want to dwell on this,
but it’s important for Nigerians to get the facts. I met amazing people in
Nigeria. It’s a shame that these muppets are in charge.”

 

In 2024, Gambaryan endured an tough eight months in Nigeria
after he was arrested and detained for alleged money laundering.

 

The Nigerian government and Binance were at loggerheads
after Olayemi Cardoso, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, said $26
billion was funneled through Binance without a trace.

 

Following a clampdown on cryptocurrency, the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in April 2024, arraigned Binance and
Gambaryan over alleged money laundering.

 

In October 2024, the Federal Government withdrew the money
laundering charges filed against Gambaryan.
