Trump Takes Over White House and Removes Four Key Officials Appointed by Biden
Donald Trump, on his first day back in the White House as the 47th President of the United States, made headlines by dismissing four senior officials who had been appointed during Joe Biden’s administration.
Staying true to his no-nonsense style, Trump announced the decision with his trademark phrase, “You’re fired,” signaling his intent to realign the government with his vision to “Make America Great Again.”
Among those let go were Jose Andres, a world-renowned chef and humanitarian who served on the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition; Mark Milley, a seasoned military officer on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; Brian Hook, a diplomat and foreign policy expert at the Wilson Center for Scholars; and Keisha Lance Bottoms, a former Atlanta mayor who had been serving on the President’s Export Council.
Trump’s return to the presidency also came with immediate policy changes. He ordered a freeze on all new federal regulations, effectively putting a pause on Biden-era policies, and signed an executive order requiring federal employees to return to full-time, in-office work.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
