Political analyst Jide Ojo has applauded the 47th president of the United States of America (USA), Donald John Trump, for signing some executive for signing an executive order to end birthright citizenship in the country.
Recall that Trump signed a long list of executive orders, executive actions, and presidential memorandums in the first hours of his second term.
Trump signed an order to halt the practice of granting U.S. citizenship to children born on American soil to parents without legal status.
In an exclusive interview with TimesNow.com.ng on Tuesday, January 21, Jide Ojo said Trump’s decision might be a blessing in disguise for Nigeria.
However, the political analyst maintained that Trump is overzealous, considering what the law says about birthright citizenship in the US.
He warned that the move will lead to fresh legal tussle for Trump’s government, adding that the decision of the US president is “dead on arrival” because the provision of the 14th amendment in the US constitution is against it.
Jide Ojo told TimesNow.com.ng that:
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Trump directed a review of all foreign assistance programs under the “America First” policy.
But in an interview with TimesNow.com.ng, Jide Ojo insisted that Trump’s decision to suspend foreign aid will have a negative impact on interventions by the US government in Africa and Nigeria.
The political analyst said:
Speaking further Jide Ojo advised the Nigerian government on what needs to be urgently done following Trumps’ major polices.
He urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to review Nigeria’s foreign policy obejectives and put Nigeria first, taking a cue from Trump, putting American first.
