Former Minister Bolaji Akinyemi: Biden Lost Debate, Feels Sorry for US President
Bolaji Akinyemi, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, has expressed his sympathy for President Joe Biden, stating that he lost the US Presidential Debate. Akinyemi criticized Biden's performance, saying he appeared lost and failed to effectively challenge Donald Trump.
Akinyemi noted that Trump avoided questions and twisted the conversation to focus on illegal immigrants. He also faulted Biden for not addressing Trump's relationships with dictators like Putin and the Chinese.
Despite acknowledging Biden's speech impediment, Akinyemi agreed with the public that Biden lost the debate. He warned against replacing Biden as the Democratic candidate, stating it would be unprecedented and potentially damaging, potentially leading to a Trump victory.
Akinyemi compared Biden's situation to Nixon's in 1960, where appearance overshadowed substance. He acknowledged Biden's achievements, including salary increases, but noted that issues like the Middle East could cost him the election.
