Lagos state – The spokesperson of the PDP National Youth Group, Dare Glintstone Akinniyi, said Nigeria under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration will not reap tangible benefits from US President-elect Donald Trump’s foreign policy.

Akinniyi said this is because Nigeria is currently experiencing significant difficulties under the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government.

The PDP chieftain stated this during an exclusive chat with TheTalk.NG on Sunday, November 10.

He argued that Trump’s foreign policy is expected to prioritize transactional relationships.

According to Akinniyi, Nigeria can only benefit from the incoming Trump government if the country brings substantial value.

“Nigeria, under the APC-led Bola Tinubu administration, is experiencing significant difficulties, meaning we won’t reap tangible benefits from Trump’s foreign policy unless we bring substantial value.

“Trump’s foreign policy is expected to prioritize transactional relationships, moving away from multilateral partnerships and putting aid, trade, and climate agreements in doubt, say many experts.”

He said Nigeria could be limited to how Africa fits within Trumo’s broader geopolitical objectives, especially concerning his rivalry with China.

Speaking further, he said he agreed with Christopher Isike, professor of African studies and international relations at the University of Pretoria in South Africa that Trump is a dealer and he transacts based on what he can get.

Akinniyi said Africa might have reduced access to Immigrants’ visas and less Aid from the US into the continent.

He concluded by saying that:

“In general, Nigeria and Africa should concentrate on value exchange with countries of equal measures. We have to focus on making our country and continent less dependent on others.

“Clearly, Trump was voted on the basis of his promises which is to give native Americans the access of enjoying their own country.”

7 Things Trump Says He Will Do as President

TheTalk.NG earlier reported that during his campaign, Trump outlined some of his major plans for the good people of America and his government.

Immigration, economy, and foreign policy are at the forefront of Trump’s bold plans for the second term.

Trump, who emerged as the winner of the US presidential election, vowed to sack Special Counsel Jack Smith, who indicted him and is also working to drop the federal criminal cases slammed against him.
