A video making the rounds online has captured some Northerners in Nigeria celebrating Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony in grand style, taking the internet by storm.
On Monday, January 20th, Donald Trump was officially sworn in as 47th president of the United States (US), preceding Joe Biden. He is the oldest individual to assume the presidency and the first president with a felony conviction. This makes it the second time Trump will become US president under the Republican Party.
However, some influential Nigerians, like gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey, musician Cobhams Asuquo, and founder of Deeper Life Church, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, were opportuned to grace the inauguration ceremony.
The Notherners, obviously happy for Trump, were seen rejoicing as they hosted a lavish inauguration ceremony in Nigeria on behalf of Donal Trump.
In the video, they were seen setting up decorations for an event celebrating Trump’s victory. They also mounted a large placard featuring Donald Trump’s image on the wall and adorned it with flowers.
This is not the first time this group of Northerners has shown support for Donald Trump. They previously held a rally in his honor and even composed a song for him after he won the US presidential election.
