Harris Claims Trump’s Ex-Officials Oppose His Return to Office
Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, recently highlighted that some former officials from Donald Trump’s administration are opposed to his return to power.
In her statement, Harris emphasized her commitment to serving all Americans equally.
As both the Democratic candidate for the presidency and the current Vice President, Harris is set to face off against Trump, the leading Republican contender, in the upcoming election.
Harris pointed out that key figures who once worked closely with Trump—such as his former National Security Advisor, Defense Secretary, and Chief of Staff—are now publicly against his re-election.
She shared this perspective on social media platform X, stating: “My promise is to be a president for every American.
The very people who served in Donald Trump’s administration have voiced their concerns about his potential return to the Oval Office.”
She further elaborated, “His National Security Advisor, his Defense Secretary, his Chief of Staff, and even his Vice President have all issued warnings.
They believe that Donald Trump is unfit to lead our nation again.”
Harris assured her audience that under her leadership, she would uphold fundamental rights and freedoms, including a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body.

INEC Allows Inspection of Edo Election Materials After PDP Protests
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has decided to permit the inspection of election materials and the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) devices used in the controversial Edo State governorship election.
This announcement comes in the wake of protests organized by members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who have been vocal about alleged irregularities during the election.
Previously, the legal team representing Dr. Asue Ighodalo, the PDP candidate, attempted to inspect these materials, but their efforts were thwarted.
In response to mounting public pressure and the calls for transparency, INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner for Edo State, Dr. Anugbom Onuoha, issued a letter on October 8, 2024, denying claims that the Commission had denied access to essential electoral materials.
Dr. Onuoha emphasized INEC’s commitment to upholding transparency and integrity within the electoral process.
He confirmed that the inspection would take place on October 9, 2024, at 10:00 am, at the INEC Headquarters in Edo State, a move many view as a step towards restoring faith in the electoral system.
In reaction to this development, the State Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Anthony Aziegbemin, hailed the decision as a significant victory for democracy and the rule of law.
He expressed gratitude to the people of Edo State for their unwavering support during the protests, which sought to challenge the perceived injustices surrounding the election process.
Aziegbemin stated, “I want to thank all those who came out to protest in support of Ighodalo’s quest to reclaim his stolen mandate.”
Despite his skepticism regarding the police and INEC—whom he believes colluded with the All Progressives Congress (APC) to undermine the election—he expressed unwavering confidence in the judiciary.
“I have lost faith in the police and INEC, but I have absolute confidence in the judiciary.
They will do right by the people of Edo State and uphold their decision to elect Asue as their governor,” he added.
This sentiment reflects a broader desire among many citizens for accountability and justice within Nigeria’s electoral landscape.
As the scheduled inspection approaches, all eyes will be on INEC and the judiciary to see how this situation unfolds.
The outcome could have significant implications for future elections in Nigeria, especially in restoring public confidence in the electoral process and ensuring that the voices of the electorate are truly heard and respected.
