The campaign of Mitt Romney, the Republican challenger to Barack Obama, the president of the United States, in the forthcoming presidential elections received a major international boost last week as Nigeria’s president, Goodluck Jonathan endorsed him. The endorsement came as a shock to Obama who thought he had African sentiment on his side.
But President Jonathan, who endorsed Romney on national TV said that he backed Romney for the following reasons:
- Obama is a snub. Remember that time he visited Africa, I begged him to at least reach Nigeria even though it’s just to stop at the airport and smile but he refused. Instead he went to Ghana just to spite me. I would never, never forgive him for that. Other leaders like Germany’s Merkel and UK’s Cameron all visited but he was feeling too big. Now it’s payback time.
- Mitt Romney does not drink or smoke, just like me. But Obama loves beer too much. The only thing I can compare with Obama’s love for beer is my love for cassava bread. Romney has my kind of temperament; he is the man America needs.
