Nigeria's Reuben Abati speaks on Donald Trump and the Muslim World

"I am not a fan of Donald Trump, the incumbent President of the United States. I didn’t stand with him. I stood with her- Hillary Clinton- in the last US Presidential election. No other election in recent American history has been more international in terms of interest and emotional involvement. Trump’s election even divided the Nigerian middle class. Majority of Christians in Nigeria stood with Donald Trump. They liked his anti-Muslim rhetoric, and in a country where religion is such a volatile subject and the Christian community feels as if it is under siege from radical Islamic extremism, it was easy for a category of Nigerians to see Trump’s politics being in sync with their own fears and expectations." - Abati, R. (2017) Tuesday with Reuben Abati: Donald Trump and the Muslim World. Available at thisdaylive.com (Accessed: 31 January, 2017).
