Nigeria Professor Condemned US election 2024,
But Nigeria Election 2023. What Do You Think?

Professor Bolaji Akinyemi, Nigeria's former foreign affairs minister, has indeed condemned the USA election outcome. In a recent interview on Arise TV, he expressed disappointment with the results, stating that they represent a triumph of crude and coarse values over sophistication, which goes against the ideals the US is meant to represent.

Akinyemi specifically criticized America's decision to support Donald Trump despite his numerous controversies and legal issues. He argued that this sends a worrying message to the world and undermines the US's long-standing image as a champion of democracy and justices.

He questioned how Americans could vote for someone convicted of 34 crimes and who tried to overturn an election, emphasizing the implications of this choice for other nations, especially in the Global South like Nigeria, where people are striving to promote democracy and transparency in their political systems.

As a renowned professor of political science and former External Affairs Minister of Nigeria, Akinyemi's concerns reflect a broader anxiety about how American politics might influence global perceptions and potentially harm international democracy and stability.
