Peter Obi is Nigeria’s Donald Trump – Presidency

 The Presidency has likened the 2023 presidential candidate
of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, to former US President and Republican candidate
for the US 2024 election, Donald Trump.

 

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to
President Bola Tinubu, Temitope Ajayi, made the comparison in a post on X.com
on Wednesday following the US presidential debate between Trump and Democratic
candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris.

 

“Peter Obi is the Nigeria 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,” he wrote.

 

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.

 

Ajayi added, “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.”

 

Media reports highlighted that Trump frequently engaged with
Harris’s provocations, reiterating conspiracy theories and false claims about
the 2020 election and immigration.

 

The former president was constantly fact-checked by debate
moderators but Trump only doubled down on his assertions such as claiming that
immigrants are eating dogs and pets of US residents.

 

“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs — the people that
came in — they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of the people that
live there. And this is what’s happening in our country,” Trump said,
contradicting the Springfield city manager, who said such accusations had no
basis in fact.

 

The 2024 US elections are scheduled to be held on Tuesday,
November 5, 2024.
