Stand-up comedian, Basketmouth
has declared that he will run for the
2019 General Elections if US
Republican candidate, Donald Trump
wins presidency.
Trump is running against Democratic
Party candidate, Hilary Clinton who is
looking like the favourite to win the
race.
“If Donald Trump wins the US
election, I’m so running for the
Presidential election in Nigeria 2019”.
In an interview with The Cable News,
Basketmouth took time to comment
on Nigeria’s last presidential election
which was won by Muhammadu
Buhari.
He criticized Buhari’s predecessor,
President Goodluck Jonathan, whose
administration was dominated by
allegations of corruption.
The comic was not shy to admit who
he was rooting for in the last election.
“While many of my colleagues,
friends and family members
campaigned for the PDP, APC and
various candidates during the last
elections (and I cannot emphasize
enough that it is their right to do so),
I never campaigned for Buhari or any
other politician.
“Indeed, I personally hoped that he
would win the election and perhaps
that was evident in my body language
and I am happy he won. But I did not
campaign for him.
“Nigeria was in a bad place by the end
of the last administration and it was
only a matter of time before we
would have suffered the plights of
Brazil and Venezuela.
“Truth of the matter is that I would
have voted anyone that could speak 2
words of English against GEJ and
that’s strictly based on the amount of
greed and selfishness we witnessed
from members of his administration
in the 6 years that he sat on the rock.
“They put us in this septic tank we are
in right now…. well, that and the oil
price downfall among other things.”
