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.
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.”
