Reacting, Akinyemi described Trump’s victory as crudity and over-refinement.
While featuring on an Arise TV program, the former Minister opined that Trump as an ex-convict, lacks the capacity to lead the American people.
According to him, Trump has been convicted of 34 different crimes in the country.
He said, “Forgive me if I don’t say good morning because it has not been a good night and definitely not a good morning for the world.
“What just happened in America is a victory of crudity, over-refinement, and all that the United States should not stand for.
“This is a victory for what the world is not expecting from a country that prides itself as the bright light on a shining hill.
“It’s hard to understand why people will vote for a person that has been convicted of 34 crimes”.
