Goodluck Jonathan Congratulates Donald Trump on Becoming the 47th President of the United States
Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has publicly congratulated Donald Trump on his return to the U.S. presidency, following Trump’s successful election as the 47th President.
In a post on his X handle, Jonathan praised Trump’s win as a reflection of American trust in his leadership and future vision, expressing optimism for a positive impact on global peace and stability.
Jonathan’s post read I extend my warmest felicitations to you on your election as the 47th President of the United States.
Your impressive victory is a testament to the American people’s faith in your leadership and vision for the future.
In his message, Jonathan shared his belief that Trump’s administration could breathe fresh life into the American dream, while also promoting global peace, stability, and progress.
Many of Trump’s allies, especially within the United States, expect a revived focus on American priorities, with Trump’s “America First” stance likely to shape policy on immigration, trade, and international relations once again.
Serving as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015, Jonathan became widely recognized for his peaceful handover of power following the 2015 election, setting an important democratic example in a region sometimes marred by electoral unrest.
Since leaving office, Jonathan has dedicated himself to peacekeeping missions, diplomatic efforts, and advocacy work across Africa and beyond, gaining respect as a statesman willing to engage with global issues.
United States President-elect Donald Trump revealed on Friday that he had a conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The discussion came at a critical time, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to allow a controversial ban on TikTok to take effect over the weekend.
The ruling dismissed an appeal by TikTok’s owners, who argued that the ban infringed on First Amendment rights.
Trump shared that the conversation covered significant global and bilateral issues, including trade imbalances, the fentanyl crisis, the future of TikTok, and more.
“I had a great call with Chairman Xi Jinping of China. It was a positive discussion for both our nations. We are ready to address critical issues immediately, including trade, fentanyl, and TikTok.
Together, we will work toward making the world a safer and more peaceful place,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
In a heartfelt farewell speech on Wednesday, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, hailed President Joe Biden as one of the most influential leaders in American history.
Pelosi, who has witnessed and participated in numerous key moments in U.S. politics, reflected on Biden’s leadership and the significant progress made during his presidency.
She expressed that the United States was fortunate to have Biden at the helm, especially given his deep understanding of the nation’s values. L
“President Joe Biden is one of the most consequential presidents in American history,” Pelosi stated.
“Thanks to his wisdom and leadership, along with Vice President Kamala Harris, our country has experienced four years of progress, hope, and unity that have touched the lives of American families.”
Pelosi went on to highlight Biden’s unmatched experience and his ability to build strong international relationships, which have elevated America’s standing on the global stage.
“America was fortunate to have such a steady, wise commander-in-chief,” Pelosi added.
The Minister for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, has shown support for Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, as a potential candidate for the governorship of Lagos State in 2027.
Speaking on the Mic On podcast hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, Olawande described Seyi as a capable and dedicated individual with a history of supporting youth initiatives, even before his father assumed the presidency.
“Seyi is not too young to become a governor,” Olawande stated, adding that Seyi himself was not behind the campaign pushing for his candidacy.
The minister emphasized Seyi’s qualifications and commitment, which have drawn the attention of various groups.
Organizations like the Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders (CONYL) have already thrown their weight behind Seyi, endorsing him as a strong contender for the position. Supporters argue that his leadership skills and influence could bring positive changes to Lagos State.
