President Trump has been a polarising figure the world over but he is popular in African countries like Nigeria and Kenya, according to a Pew Research poll released in January 2018...
"The Obama administration had been pushing a liberal agenda here in Africa and that agenda was of concern to some of us Christian leaders. It was a relief that during Trump's time he's taken a bit of a back seat," Richard Chogo a pastor at the Deliverance Church in Kenya's capital, Nairobi.
He praised the Trump administration for cutting funding to organisations, such as Marie Stopes, that provide contraception and abortion services in several African countries...Pastor Chogo agrees...saying that to legalise the termination of pregnancies is part of a "population control agenda".
The Venerable Emeka Ezeji, a vicar and archdeacon in the Missionary Christ Anglican Church in Nigeria's south-eastern Enugu state, says his political views are only determined "by what the scriptures say".
"Faith is personal, mine is pro life... African Christians believe that a Republican president is better for the US and the world," he said.
"Trump is the modern-day Cyrus," he said
"God is saying… he's my servant who will do my will,"
Rev Juliet Eyimofe Bintie, who is based in Nigeria's largest city of Lagos, agrees.
A fan of Mr Trump since his days on the reality show The Apprentice, she is holding weekly prayers for his re-election and also marks his birthday with elaborate messages on Facebook.
She said that God gave her a message before the 2016 election about the real-estate billionaire turned politician and his support for religious freedom, which Christians believe is under attack.
"He told me he was looking for a bulldog, a man of audacity, because there are certain assignments nice people cannot carry out," Rev Bintie said.
