While reacting to the he endorsed Peter Obi, has clarified that he did not endorse any candidate in the recent election, despite reports to the contrary.

In a statement, Obasanjo emphasized that he had only shared his opinion on the candidates and did not use the word “endorse.” He also added that he believes that he will be held accountable by God if he failed to speak out about what is right.

“I stated that one specific candidate has a clear advantage. When considering all factors, I evaluate the individual’s character, past performance, goals and aspirations, and their spiritual background.”

“I previously stated that multiple individuals have claimed to be under my mentorship, which is true.

I have made this point before. I stated that President Buhari does not possess a thorough understanding of the economy, which is true and has been demonstrated. I was not criticizing him, it is simply an objective fact, and he would likely acknowledge that.”

He added, “You are either nefarious, lacking in love for your country, or an extremely poor citizen of this nation. If this is your nature, what is it that you expect God to do with you?”

Kamala Harris received support from high-profile figures such as P. Diddy, Cardi B, Barack Obama, and Beyoncé, while Donald Trump gained endorsements from the Tate brothers, Elon Musk, and rapper Lil Wayne.

Some supporters of Trump celebrated the outcome, claiming that Americans chose “God over the devil,” with implications for a shift in cultural content, including less LGBTQ+ representation.

A twitter user reacting to the outcome said: “Kamala Harris was endorsed by the likes of P Diddy (Devil with horns), Cardi B (prostitute) , Barack Obama and Beyoncé (devil). Donald Trump was endorsed by the Tate Brothers, Elon Musk. And Lil Wayne. The People of America chose God over the devil. We gonna see less gay content”

@SLH2806 said: “America is ready to heal…. He is the man who will take us there. Thanks to all of you (his family). & to all those who helped raise his voice”

@gautam_adani said: “If there is one person on Earth who stands as the embodiment of unbreakable tenacity, unshakeable grit, relentless determination and the courage to stay true to his beliefs, it is Donald Trump. Fascinating to see America’s democracy empower its people and uphold the nation’s founding principles. Congratulations to the 47th POTUS-elect”

Donald Trump won the 2024 U.S. presidential election in a stunning comeback, securing more than 270 Electoral College votes, with a victory in the key swing state of Wisconsin.

Despite legal troubles and controversies, including multiple criminal indictments, Trump prevailed by capitalising on voter concerns about the economy, immigration, and rising prices.

His campaign focused on addressing issues like inflation and crime, while presenting Kamala Harris as unable to manage these problems.

Trump’s victory was driven by strong support from rural, white, non-college-educated voters, Hispanics, and lower-income households. The win also saw Republicans gain a majority in the Senate, though control of the House remains uncertain.
