The Presidency has likened Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, to Donald Trump, the former US President and Republican candidate for the 2024 US election.
Temitope Ajayi, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, made the comparison in a post on the social media platform X on Wednesday.

“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.
This follows the US presidential debate between Trump and Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris.
During a heated televised debate on Tuesday, Kamala Harris put Donald Trump on the defensive, provoking him as they clashed for a crucial advantage in a highly contested US presidential race.
The 2024 US elections are scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
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.”
