President Joe Biden is set to address the nation on Thursday, confirming a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump following Trump’s major victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the recent election.

Biden’s upcoming remarks in the White House Rose Garden, scheduled for 11 a.m. local time (1600 GMT), will cover the election outcome and the upcoming transition, marking a poignant moment for the outgoing president as he faces the likely reversal of many policies central to his administration.

Though Biden stepped back from his re-election bid in July, passing the Democratic nomination to Harris, Trump’s significant win has drawn the spotlight back to Biden as he prepares to hand over the reins.

Observers note that Biden’s approach, prioritizing unity and stability, is a deliberate move to contrast Trump’s controversial 2020 transition when Trump refused to concede, citing unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud.

The unrest on January 6, 2021, when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, remains a vivid memory in America’s recent history, adding weight to Biden’s emphasis on a respectful handover of power.

Despite years of tension, Biden reached out to Trump in a phone call on Wednesday, expressing his commitment to a smooth transition and stressing the importance of unity in bringing Americans together.

This gesture, many say, shows Biden’s enduring belief in the democratic process and the value of reconciliation, even with a former rival.

Trump’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung confirmed that Trump appreciated Biden’s call and looks forward to the meeting, which is expected to happen soon.

This meeting would mark their first face-to-face since Biden’s difficult debate with Trump in June, which contributed to his decision to step out of the race and put his support behind Harris.

As Biden readies himself to make way for Trump’s return to the White House, he’s leaving a message about the significance of democracy, unity, and mutual respect—principles that will shape his legacy as he steps off the national stage.

Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.

The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.

“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”

Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.

The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.

Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.

She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.

“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”
