Peter Obi is Nigeria’s Donald Trump – Tinubu’s aide

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, Temitope Ajayi, 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.

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.
