Nigerian-Americans Outline Conditions for Supporting Trump or Harris in 2024 US Election
As the US prepares for its presidential election on November 5, 2024, Nigerian-Americans have expressed their intention to support a candidate who prioritizes Nigeria’s interests.
Hon. Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinmma, a former Nigerian House of Representatives member, stated that despite being traditionally aligned with the Democratic Party, recent Republican administrations have shown more support for Nigeria.
Agbonayinmma praised Donald Trump for approving arms sales to aid Nigeria’s fight against Boko Haram, which was declined by former President Barack Obama.
He criticized the current Democratic administration’s lack of engagement with Nigeria and policies that undermine traditional values.
Agbonayinmma’s views reflect concerns among some Nigerian-Americans seeking a candidate committed to fostering US-Nigeria relations and addressing moral and ethical governance issues.
