Atiku Applauds Donald Trump’s Victory And Calls It a Testament to Democracy
Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President of Nigeria and a prominent opposition figure, shared his thoughts on social media following the announcement of President Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election.
Atiku, posting on his X handle, expressed admiration and respect for the American democratic process, describing it as a powerful example of resilience and faith in democracy.
Reflecting on Trump’s win, Atiku hailed it as a significant achievement for the Republican Party, emphasizing that it marks a momentous comeback for Trump himself.
The former Vice President described Trump’s journey as one filled with setbacks and hard-fought battles, showcasing his resilience and determination.
According to Atiku, this victory is not just a personal milestone for Trump but also a symbol of democracy’s strength and capacity for renewal.
Trump, who has faced considerable political challenges over the years, has managed to keep his support base strong, appealing to Americans who feel that he represents a voice for change and a return to conservative values.
His victory, Atiku stated, demonstrates the power of the people and the spirit of American democracy.
Atiku also pointed out that Trump’s win serves as a lesson for democracies worldwide, especially in countries like Nigeria, where calls for credible elections remain critical.
He encouraged Nigerians to reflect on the integrity of the American electoral process and urged leaders in his own country to work towards strengthening their democratic institutions.
For Atiku, Trump’s success is more than a political story; it’s a reminder that fair elections are fundamental to any functioning democracy.
He expressed his hope that Trump, during his administration, would advocate for electoral transparency and free elections, not just within the U.S. but globally, including in Nigeria.
In his post, Atiku extended congratulations to the American people, applauding their unwavering commitment to the democratic process.

Biden Prepares For Transfer Of Power And Welcomes Trump Back To White House
President Joe Biden is set to address the nation on Thursday, confirming a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump following Trump’s major victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the recent election.
Biden’s upcoming remarks in the White House Rose Garden, scheduled for 11 a.m. local time (1600 GMT), will cover the election outcome and the upcoming transition, marking a poignant moment for the outgoing president as he faces the likely reversal of many policies central to his administration.
Though Biden stepped back from his re-election bid in July, passing the Democratic nomination to Harris, Trump’s significant win has drawn the spotlight back to Biden as he prepares to hand over the reins.
Observers note that Biden’s approach, prioritizing unity and stability, is a deliberate move to contrast Trump’s controversial 2020 transition when Trump refused to concede, citing unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud.
The unrest on January 6, 2021, when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, remains a vivid memory in America’s recent history, adding weight to Biden’s emphasis on a respectful handover of power.
Despite years of tension, Biden reached out to Trump in a phone call on Wednesday, expressing his commitment to a smooth transition and stressing the importance of unity in bringing Americans together.
This gesture, many say, shows Biden’s enduring belief in the democratic process and the value of reconciliation, even with a former rival.
Trump’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung confirmed that Trump appreciated Biden’s call and looks forward to the meeting, which is expected to happen soon.
This meeting would mark their first face-to-face since Biden’s difficult debate with Trump in June, which contributed to his decision to step out of the race and put his support behind Harris.
As Biden readies himself to make way for Trump’s return to the White House, he’s leaving a message about the significance of democracy, unity, and mutual respect—principles that will shape his legacy as he steps off the national stage.
