Moghalu: Harris Won Debate, But Trump Could Still Win Due to Electoral College
Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kingsley Moghalu, has shared his thoughts on the recent U.S. presidential election debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, Moghalu highlighted Harris’s impressive performance, stating that she had been underestimated before the debate but went on to exceed expectations.
According to Moghalu, Harris displayed qualities of leadership throughout the debate, showing poise, precision, and a strong command of the issues discussed.
He pointed out that her concise delivery of points gave her the edge over Trump, who, he noted, fell for her strategic baits. “@KamalaHarris clearly won her debate with @realDonaldTrump last night.
She was underestimated going in, but was very prepared and over-performed. She was poised and presidential, precise and concise with her points. Trump mostly not so. And he fell for her baits,” Moghalu wrote.
Despite praising Harris’s debate performance, Moghalu expressed skepticism about her overall chances of winning the presidential election, largely due to the influence of the U.S. Electoral College system.
He suggested that while Harris has the potential to gain more support in the coming weeks, Trump might still emerge victorious if the election were held immediately.
Moghalu pointed out that Trump’s base of support seems firm, while Harris could still have room to expand her reach.
“But if the election were held today Trump probably would still win, because of the Electoral College system,” Moghalu added, emphasizing that the race is still highly competitive and could go either way by November.
He believes Harris may have an opportunity to build momentum as the race progresses, while Trump might have already reached the peak of his support.
Moghalu’s analysis has sparked interest, particularly his view that Harris, despite her strong debate performance, faces significant structural challenges within the U.S. political system that could make Trump’s path to victory easier.
With the election nearing, both candidates are expected to intensify their campaigns, and the final outcome remains uncertain.
Moghalu’s commentary underscores the unpredictable nature of the race and the pivotal role the Electoral College plays in determining the winner.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
