Biden Endorses Kamala Harris for 2024 Presidential Nomination
President Joe Biden has officially endorsed Kamala Harris as his chosen candidate for the upcoming presidential race. In a statement posted on his official X page, Biden made this announcement on Sunday, shortly after he withdrew from the 2024 presidential election.
Biden explained his decision, stating that he believed stepping aside from the nomination was in the best interest of both his party and the nation. He emphasized his commitment to concentrating fully on his presidential responsibilities for the remainder of his term.
Reflecting on his vice presidential pick, Biden said, “When I first made the decision to select Kamala Harris as my running mate in 2020, it was a choice I believed would strengthen our ticket and our mission. Looking back, it was undoubtedly the right choice.”
He continued by expressing his strong support for Harris, saying, “Today, I am proud to endorse Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for President. As we face the upcoming election, it’s crucial for Democrats to unite and work together to secure a victory. Our focus must be on defeating Donald Trump and advancing the values we stand for.”
Biden’s endorsement underscores his confidence in Harris’s ability to lead and his commitment to rallying the party behind her candidacy.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
