Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, Temitope Ajayi, has likened the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), 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, yesterday, 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 last night. Kamala convincingly won the debate and left no one in doubt about her 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-minute debate.”
