In a powerful address, Vice President Kamala Harris highlighted her longstanding commitment to fighting for the rights of the most vulnerable populations throughout her career.

She recounted her journey, beginning as a young courtroom prosecutor in Oakland, where she dedicated herself to defending women and children against abusive predators.

Her early experiences in the courtroom shaped her understanding of the challenges faced by those who are often overlooked and marginalized.

During her tenure as the district attorney of San Francisco, Harris made significant strides in advancing social justice.

Notably, she played a pivotal role in California becoming the first state to ban the controversial “gay/trans panic” defense, a legal strategy that was frequently used to justify violent crimes against members of the LGBTQ+ community.

This landmark legislation marked a significant victory in the fight for equality and protection of human rights, reinforcing her commitment to combatting hate and violence.

As California’s attorney general, Harris continued her advocacy for justice by tackling corporate greed and advocating for everyday Californians.

She led efforts against big banks, securing $20 billion to aid middle-class families grappling with foreclosures during the financial crisis.

Her proactive approach not only provided much-needed relief to struggling homeowners but also underscored her dedication to economic justice.

Harris also fought vigorously for veterans and students who fell victim to deceptive practices by for-profit colleges.

She took a stand against institutions that exploited their trust, ensuring that those who served the country and sought education received the respect and quality they deserved.

Moreover, she championed workers’ rights, taking action against employers who cheated workers out of their hard-earned wages, and defended seniors from elder abuse, ensuring their rights and dignity were protected.

Now serving as the U.S. Senator for California and Vice President, Harris has continued her advocacy on behalf of all Americans.

In her recent statements, she emphasized her determination to persist in this fight as she sets her sights on the presidency.

“I have fought on behalf of all Americans—and I will continue to do so as president,” she affirmed, rallying support for her vision of a brighter future for the nation.

By drawing from her extensive experience in public service, Harris aims to inspire hope and mobilize citizens toward collective action for change.

As the campaign for the presidency unfolds, her history of standing up for the most vulnerable will be a cornerstone of her message, reflecting her unwavering belief in a just and inclusive America.

Nigerian singer Charly Boy has shared his thoughts on the recent political move by the political party African Democratic Congress (ADC).

It can be noted that the party is gearing up to challenge President Tinubu’s position in the 2027 elections.

The singer took to social media to express his thoughts on the move and questioned who the party is truly fighting for.

“Are they fighting for you, or fighting to sit where their enemies used to sit? Are they shouting ‘enough is enough’ because they’ve changed… or because they’re no longer the ones benefitting?”

“We don’t just need new names. We need new values, new visions, and people with the guts to live by them. 2027 is not about revenge. It’s about rescue.”

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.

The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.

Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.

He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”

Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
