The Presidency has likened Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, to former U.S. President and 2024 Republican candidate, Donald Trump.
This comparison was made by Temitope Ajayi, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, in a post shared on the social media platform X on Wednesday.
This comes following the US presidential debate between Trump and Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Temitope Ajayi compared Peter Obi to Donald Trump, stating that both leaders criticize their own countries to appeal to their supporters. Ajayi referenced a debate between Kamala Harris and Trump, in which they clashed on issues like abortion and immigration.
According to Ajayi, Harris effectively handled Trump, exploiting his weaknesses and winning the debate by a significant margin. Fact-checkers noted that Harris made only one false statement during the debate, whereas Trump was found to have made 33 false claims, including repeating conspiracy theories and controversial remarks about immigration.
