A Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, has likened the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, to the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Mr Ajayi made this comparison on Wednesday in reaction to the U.S. presidential candidates’ debate held on Tuesday night, between Democrat candidate, Donald Trump, and Republican candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris.
The presidential aide said like Peter Obi, Trump would use unimaginable negative words to describe a country he wants to lead just to win the sympathy of voters.
On his X handle, Mr Ajayi wrote, “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.
“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.”
