In a statement following the 2024 Presidential Election, President Joe Biden and former First Lady Michelle Obama addressed the American people, acknowledging the outcome of the election and offering their congratulations to President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance.

The two leaders expressed their respect for the democratic process and emphasized the importance of accepting the peaceful transfer of power, even when the results are not what one hoped for.

Biden reiterated that democracy is about more than winning elections; it’s about respecting the will of the people and maintaining the core values that have long been the foundation of the United States.

Biden also took a moment to express his pride in Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, both of whom ran on the Democratic ticket.

He lauded them as “extraordinary public servants” who conducted a “remarkable campaign.”

Harris, who made history as the first woman and first woman of color to serve as vice president, continues to be a powerful figure in American politics.

Walz, a former teacher and veteran, has led Minnesota with a focus on education and healthcare reform.

The statement defined the challenges that the country has faced in recent years, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic strains that followed.

Biden pointed out the rising prices, many of which were a result of the pandemic, and the frustration felt by many Americans who have worked hard but continue to struggle with basic living costs.

These hardships, he noted, have created significant headwinds for Democratic leaders, not just in the United States but globally.

However, Biden offered a hopeful message, suggesting that the problems facing America are solvable.

He urged the country to listen to one another and return to the foundational principles of the Constitution and democratic norms that have helped build the nation.

He called for a focus on unity, emphasizing that while Americans may not always agree on everything, the path forward requires good faith and understanding, even in the face of deep disagreement.

In closing, Biden reflected on the journey of progress, reminding Americans that building a fairer, more just society is an ongoing effort.

Despite the setback of the election, they reiterated their commitment to working for a more equal, free, and prosperous country.

Many Nigerians are expressing deep concern over the poor performance recorded in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), following the release of the results by JAMB on Friday. Social media has since been flooded with reactions from worried parents, students, and education stakeholders, many of whom believe the scores don’t reflect the true efforts of the candidates.

One user, Oluwaseun, took to X to voice his frustration, sharing a screenshot of a student named Egbaze Victoria who allegedly scored 295 in last year’s UTME but shockingly got 132 this year. “Something is seriously wrong with these results,” he wrote. “These scores don’t reflect the abilities or track records of these students.”

Another user, Chukwuma Pius, also shared his frustration, claiming JAMB sent his daughter a result that doesn’t belong to her. “This is heartbreaking,” he said. “As a retired teacher, I know what she’s capable of. The result they sent cannot be hers.”

These complaints come after JAMB disclosed that over 1.5 million candidates scored below 200 this year, sparking widespread calls for an investigation into the entire process. Reacting to the controversy, former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi described the outcome of this year’s UTME as worrisome and emphasized the need for urgent reforms in the education sector.
