Anifowoshe said:
"The U.S. Presidential Election is indeed a historic moment, reminiscent of the tumultuous dynamics we witnessed in 2016, especially with the relentless barrage of attacks and counterattacks between the Republican and Democratic candidates.
"It is difficult not to feel a sense of disappointment as we observe the discourse surrounding this election; it seems that the bar has been lowered significantly.
"Candidates vying for the highest political office in the world’s most advanced democracy are resorting to the exploitation of religion, ethnicity, and other trivial issues, distracting from the substantive discussions that are crucial for the nation’s future."
