Trump’s $5,000 Promise Sparks Reaction from Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a $5,000 dividend for every adult American if the Republican Party secures victories in both the House of Representatives and the Senate during the upcoming midterm elections.

Trump made this promise at the Republican Party’s midterm convention, indicating that the proposal could cost approximately $1.35 trillion, given the estimated 270 million adult citizens in the U.S. Sani remarked on social media platform X, stating, “Trump is promising every American $5k if his party wins.

Africa used to emulate American democracy; America is now emulating African democracy.” This statement reflects Sani's view on the evolving dynamics of democratic practices between the U.S. and African nations.
