Presidential Aide, Temitope Ajayi says the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, is the Nigerian version of Donald Trump.
Ajayi, a Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, made the comparison in a post on X on Wednesday, September 11, following the U.S .presidential debate between Trump and Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris.
During the debate, Harris and Trump clashed on many issues ranging from abortion rights to immigration, as both candidates sought to sway voters in a tightly contested race.
Reacting to the debate, Ajayi wrote;
‘’Peter Obi is the Nigerian version of Donald Trump. Like Obi, Trump will use the most negative epithets imaginable to describe a country he wants to lead again just to make a point and rile up his base.
Kamala Harris prosecuted Trump very well in their first face to face debate yesterday night. Kamala convincingly won the debate and left no one in doubt about his capacity.
Vice President Harris knew Trump’s weakness and set traps for him. Trump fell for her baits. Both candidates have been fact-checked on their claims in the debate. While Harris was reported to have made just one incorrect claim, Trump made 33 false claims in the same 90 minutes debate.”
