Trump Is Not In Any Way Better Than Tinubu Of Nigeria - Ex-NIIA DG, Akinterinwa by BlessedGift(op): 10:55pm On Sep 27, 2025

A former Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Prof. Bola Akinterinwa, has said President Bola Tinubu is as intelligent, cautious, and strategic as U.S. president Donald Trump, despite his absence from this year’s United Nations General Assembly.

Speaking, Akinterinwa argued that Tinubu’s decision not to attend should not be mistaken for weakness or lack of capacity on the global stage.

“At the end of the day, when you are seen to be at par with your colleagues, in which way are you going to say that Donald Trump is better than Bola Tinubu of Nigeria? He’s not. And I can tell you that Tinubu is as intelligent, if not more intelligent than Trump. He is more cautious and more strategic in his approach,” he said.

The former NIIA boss explained that in international relations, hierarchy shapes interactions among leaders, stressing that protocol often dictates who engages with whom at such forums.

Hard facts!

Trump is a convicted criminal and His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is not.

Trump has a long history of financial misappropriation and bankruptcy’s, while His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) has outstanding record in financial management.

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) adores women and never been found guilty for any sex related offense, while Trump is a convicted sex offender.

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is a better orator who delivers top notch, sensible and facts backed by data. Trump just spews anything that comes into his head.

One thing I am very certain of, is that....

Trump understands and value STATISTICS, but, Tpain an acclaimed Mobil Accountant asserted that "NA STATISTICS WE GO CHOP"

The difference is clear.

APC propaganda and patronage are like 5&6.

The American people demand an apology at once

See lame defense. Always glorifying failure. Just imagine this kind of crass senseless a fella is spewing thereby insulting the intelligence and sensibility of the global audience.

Donald Trump genealogy is well known. He doesn't have certificate issue or bad drug history. Donald Trump didn't win election via glaring fraud, he is not an identity theft and didn't ruined the US economy.

Donald Trump and Tinubu are ways apart. Putin visited the US not long ago but your demigod is scared to do so because they got him by the balls.

Remember, his narcotic case is still active there. Meanwhile, Putin dispatch terrorists to where they belong while your demigod is recycling them as repentant deradicalised and rehabilitated terrorists. Spot the difference and tell us who is strategic.

Imagine the embarrassment that followed the last UNGA he attended with Seyi Tinubu and Nigerian officials openly engaging in NY-prostitutes seeking jamboree in a strategic global gathering as it happened in 2023. Cant imagine this fella once heads the NIIA.

Sure!!! Tinubu has not allowed his background to put his back to the ground! We all are coming from somewhere to have arrived where we are today. One-on-one with Tinubu, Trump will not, compared to his interaction with Gen. Mohammed Buhari, say he met a brain-dead individual!

Mr Tinubu is proving to be a brilliant, strategic President who is moving Nigeria from height to height.

I won't change him for any body right now.

4.3% Economic growth - great, more to come!
$42 billion foreign reserve - wonderful!
Naira stabilisation - excellent!
Government revenues at record levels - unprecedented!
Stock prices exploding - incredible!
Non - oil exports going gangbusters - lovely!
Projects everywhere - o ga ju!
Abuja infrastructure - unparalleled!
Student loan plus N20,000 free monthly stipends per loanee - thank you Mr President!

All of that and more in just 2 and a half years.

Currently, I would not change Mr Tinubu for anyone else.

Oga is that how to make comparison if at all u need to do. U said Trump delivers what he promised? So what was In Tinubu manifesto that is different from what he is doing? Also u mention Trump on illegal immigrant as compared to Tinubu economic policy are they same? U have to compare Trump economic policy as well as Tinubu's. Anyway. USA has 200years + of democracy so u should be aware of your comparism.

Do you know Donald Trump has been convicted of a crime. On May 30, 2024, a New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records. This conviction stemmed from Trump's role in a hush money payment scheme involving adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. The payments were recorded as legal expenses, which prosecutors argued was an unlawful attempt to mask the true purpose of the transaction .
