In other news, Olusegun Obasanjo has stated that that the US vice president-elect Kamala Harris may have her ancestral root in Nigeria, saying the 56-year-old former senator has “some Nigerian DNA.”

The former president made this disclosure in his congratulatory message to the newly-elected president and vice president of the United States of America, Joe Biden and Harris.

The former president said Harris’ lineage may be that of the Nigerian ‘slaves’ taken to the Caribbean from Africa during the slave trade and colonial age.
