Kamala Harris Secures Democratic Nomination and Outlines Vision Against Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed her anticipation of officially accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination for the 2024 presidential election.
Harris made this statement following her recent achievement of garnering sufficient support from Democratic delegates, which positions her as the party’s nominee.
This development comes on the heels of President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race, a move that has been instrumental in Harris’ campaign.
In her remarks, Harris emphasized the significance of the broad support she has secured. She proudly acknowledged the critical role played by her home state of California in reaching this milestone.
“Tonight, I am honoured to have obtained the extensive backing required to become our party’s nominee,” Harris stated. “As a proud daughter of California, I am particularly pleased that my state’s delegation has been instrumental in pushing our campaign to this crucial point.”
Harris also took the opportunity to outline her vision for the future, contrasting it sharply with the prospect of a second term for former President Donald Trump.
She argued that Trump aims to return the country to an era before many Americans had full freedoms and equal rights. In contrast, Harris advocated for a future that fortifies democracy, upholds reproductive freedom, and ensures that every individual has the opportunity not only to survive but to thrive.
The rapid pace of Harris’ success is noteworthy, with only 32 hours elapsing between Biden’s announcement of his withdrawal and Harris’ securing the necessary delegate support.
This swift transition highlights the decisive momentum behind Harris’ campaign as she prepares to lead the Democratic ticket.

Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi Allegedly in Talks to Join Social Democratic Party

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi are reportedly in talks to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP), according to Adewole Adebayo, the SDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.
Adebayo revealed this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, where he shared that discussions are ongoing through close associates of both Atiku and Obi. He mentioned that the SDP is open to welcoming them into the fold.
He added that the party had recently admitted a former governor from Kaduna State, who is also a key member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), signaling a shift in the political landscape. Adebayo emphasized that the SDP is experiencing growth as more individuals join, but there is a need for a cultural shift in politics, particularly regarding internal rules and procedures.
When asked directly about Obi’s potential move to the SDP, Adebayo confirmed that while talks are taking place, nothing is official until a formal announcement is made. He mentioned that he had received updates from party officials, including the Financial Secretary, about the ongoing discussions.
Adebayo also stressed that the SDP would only accept politicians who align with the party’s values and adhere to its democratic processes. “If they are willing to follow our transparent and credible internal processes, we can work together to offer Nigerians a real alternative,” he added.

Wike and Fubara Need to Explain the Real Cause of Their Conflict – Omotsegunwa

Jerry Omotsegunwa, Special Assistant on Electronic Media to the suspended Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has said that both FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Fubara need to come forward and explain the real cause of their political fallout.
According to Omotsegunwa, neither Wike nor Fubara has clearly stated what led to their dispute. “The FCT minister has not told us anything that led to the crisis, and the governor too has not provided any clarity,” he said.
The rift between the two escalated into a full-blown political crisis, prompting President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State on March 18, 2025. Tinubu also suspended Fubara and members of the State House of Assembly.
Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, in an interview with DW, attributed the crisis to money, criticizing Tinubu’s emergency rule decision as unconstitutional.
Reacting to Amaechi’s claim, Omotsegunwa said it remains a personal opinion, as the real reason behind the crisis is still unclear.
“This crisis has lasted almost two years, yet nobody has come out to state exactly what the problem is,” he said. “When they talked about impeaching the governor, he asked, ‘What is my offence?’ And the FCT minister responded that he tried to destroy his political structure. Even with this, we are still left without real answers.”
Omotsegunwa added that while he wouldn’t dispute Amaechi’s stance, it remains just his personal perspective.

“I Almost Gave Up on Running for President” – President Tinubu Shares

President Bola Tinubu has revealed that he almost stepped away from the presidential race but was convinced to stay by Aminu Masari and a few others.
Speaking at a special Iftar at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Tinubu shared how a late-night conversation with a relative made him question his decision to run. His spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, released a statement detailing the moment.
Recalling the incident, Tinubu said a family member visited him around 3:30 a.m., asking for N50,000 to buy food. The relative blamed him for the currency crisis at the time, saying people were struggling to get cash, even a wealthy uncle of theirs couldn’t find N10,000. The man then questioned why Tinubu was still in the race, hinting that he had no chance of winning.
Despite the doubt, Tinubu handed over the money and confidently told him he would succeed. However, the encounter made him briefly consider quitting. He credited Aminu Masari and others for pushing him forward, with Masari reminding him of the support he had and urging him not to look back.
Tinubu acknowledged the tough economic challenges he faced upon taking office and the difficult decisions he had to make, including the removal of fuel subsidies. He revealed that the subsidy removal wasn’t part of his original inauguration speech but was a decision he had to make immediately.
