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.

Dele Momodu Questions Remi Tinubu’s Interruption of Gov. Adeleke at Ooni’s Event
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.

Atiku’s Spokesman Says APC Is Already Planning to Rig the 2027 Elections
Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.
According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.
“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”
Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.
“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
