'I and Trump are on the same team, but Vladimir Putin is not on our team1' - Obama

U.S President Barack Obama has told the
American public that Russia's Vladmir Putin
shouldn't be trusted due to the fact he
reportedly meddled in the U.S presidential
elections, reminding Republicans who support or
trust Putin to be careful as he and Putin aren't
on the same team.
Obama's statements come after the U.S
Intelligence community released documents,
revealing that Putin directly ordered the influence
of the U.S presidntial elections to favor Trump.
"What is true is that the Russians
intended to meddle and they meddled,"
Obama told ABC News' George
Stephanopoulos in an interview that aired
Friday . "One of the things I am concerned
about is the degree to which we've seen
a lot of commentary lately where there
are Republicans or pundits or cable
commentators who seem to have more
confidence in Vladimir Putin than fellow
Americans because those fellow
Americans are Democrats."
"That cannot be," Obama insisted.
When asked if he was referring to Trump,
Obama said;
"Well, what I will say is that -- and I said
that after the election -- we have to
remind ourselves that we're on the same
team," Obama said. "Vladimir Putin is not
on our team.
Donald Trump has been briefed by Intelligence
officials of the report from the Office of the
Director of National Intelligence, but has publicly
stated that Putin had no influence in the decision
of Americans to vote him as the next president.
Trump has vowed that as President, within 90
days of his inauguration he would appoint a
team to generate a cyber-security plan against
future cyber attacks.

The move has enabled a monthly saving of around $11,5m (£8m). The audit is part of an anti-corruption campaign by President Muhammadu Buhari , who took power last year. Corruption and mismanagement have long been a challenge to Nigeria's growth, and the government has promised to cut costs to face an economic slowdown.
