An erstwhile Foreign Affairs Minister, Bolaji Akinyemi, has said that the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris will be a hard nut to crack for Donald Trump.
Naija News reports that President Joe Biden had on Sunday withdrawn from the presidential race and endorsed Harris as the Democratic Party’s fresh nominee.
In the letter announcing his withdrawal, Biden said it was in the best interest of his party and the country to leave the race.
“It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve as your president. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden had said.
Sharing his thoughts on the development, Akinyemi asserted that Harris is a good choice.
He stated this during an appearance on Arise News on Monday.
According to him, “President Biden’s choice of Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party is a good choice, not necessarily because of her own character but because she is the Vice President.
“I hope nobody is going to underestimate Kamala Harris. She had to keep a low profile, and I said three weeks ago that when you are the Vice President, you cannot be seen outshining the President. You do what the President tells you to do.
“Kamala Harris is going to be a hard nut for Trump to crack. Be careful of lawyers, especially someone who has been an attorney general and a prosecutor. She will take you to pieces with the way she will put her own questions and the way she will use you to wipe the floor. She won the Senate seat by 60% from California when she ran, so you see that she is not an easy nut to crack.”
