Biden Sparks Debate by Calling for Trump to be ‘Politically Locked Up’
In a bold statement made just two weeks before the presidential election, President Joe Biden suggested that former President Donald Trump should be “locked up,” though he quickly clarified that he meant it “politically.” Speaking to a group of New Hampshire Democrats on October 22, Biden made the comment while critiquing Trump’s proposals for a second term.
The remark drew immediate comparisons to Trump’s 2016 campaign, where supporters frequently chanted “Lock her up” in reference to Hillary Clinton.
Trump has denied encouraging those chants, claiming his supporters voiced them on their own.
Following Biden’s comments, the Trump campaign fired back, accusing Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of political persecution.
Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, called on Harris to condemn Biden’s remarks, arguing that the administration’s actions were an attempt to undermine democracy.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
