jokes About Trump’s Comeback, Looks Forward to a Lively U.S.-Africa Partnership
President Bola Tinubu extends his warmest fist bump and high-five to Donald Trump on his re-election as the 47th President of the United States. “Here we go again!” Tinubu laughs, nodding to Trump’s encore performance at the White House.
In his message, Tinubu jokes, “Who says you can’t make a comeback? Trump’s showing the world that 47 is the new 45!” He adds that Nigeria and the U.S. are ready to tackle global challenges together – from promoting peace to trading everything but our jollof rice recipes (those are staying strictly Nigerian).
Tinubu quips that Trump’s victory shows that Americans trust him more than a bald eagle with a voting card. And with that familiar face back in the White House, Tinubu is looking forward to a few less ‘diplomatic formalities’ and a few more sincere handshakes on matters of trade, peace, and prosperity.
As Tinubu puts it, “With Trump back, let’s make diplomacy fun again!” He believes this reunion will mark the beginning of an exciting, mutually beneficial chapter for Africa and America – with fewer red-tape tangoes and more progress playlists.
