The song, composed in both Hausa and English, praised Trump’s boldness and commitment to his values.
One of the lyrics reads, “God chose you, made you, and protected you. Always take care of your supporters.”
Donald Trump’s reelection marked a historic comeback as he secured 276 electoral college votes, surpassing the required 270 by six votes, defeating Kamala Harris, who garnered 219 votes in the closely contested poll.
On January 20, 2025, Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, alongside Vice President JD Vance, who was sworn in by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
In his inaugural address, Trump declared, “The golden age of America starts now.” He vowed to end the “weaponization” of the Justice Department, promising that “the scales of justice will be rebalanced.”
Trump, meanwhile, emphasized that his presidency would focus on excellence and be remembered for its significance.
“It is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country,” he stated.
