CBN Ex-Deputy Gov Moghalu on Why Africa Gains from Trump’s Sideline
Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Kingsley Moghalu, has suggested that Africa being sidelined by U.S. President Donald Trump could be beneficial for the continent. In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Sunday, January 27, 2025, Moghalu emphasized the need for Africa to take its destiny into its own hands and chart its own course.
He expressed fatigue over discussions centered on “what Trump means for Africa,” advocating instead for a shift away from dependency narratives.
Moghalu’s perspective aligns with his previous analyses, where he noted that Trump’s lack of strong interest in Africa could provide an opportunity for the continent to redefine its global relationships and reduce reliance on external powers.
