Alaku has decided to step down from the race and throw his support behind the incumbent governor and All Progressives Congress candidate in the state, Abdullahi Sule.

Alaku stated that the ADC made the decision in the interest of ensuring that the people of Nasarawa State continue to benefit from the dividends of democracy.

He said, “We have come to the realistic conclusions that the incumbent governor, Engr AA Sule, has done well since coming into office as the governor of the state from 2019.

“In view of that, I, Hon. Godwin Williams Alaku, have decided to step down as the gubernatorial candidate of the ADC party in Nasarawa State and do hereby plead with all our teeming members of the ADC to come out en masse to vote for Engr AA. Sule of the APC come this Saturday.

“Nasarawa State has been tested in terms of security, economy and transparency in governance, in all of this, Engr. AA Sule has done tremendously well and therefore should be allowed to be in office for the second term.” He added.

In his call for peaceful governorship and house of assembly elections on the coming Saturday, Godwin Alaku, urged the residents of the state to exercise their right to vote without prejudice to religion or ethnicity.

US Election: How Citizens React To Trump’s Victory

Published

on

In the wake of the 2024 US presidential election, political endorsements have sparked controversy.

Kamala Harris received support from high-profile figures such as P. Diddy, Cardi B, Barack Obama, and Beyoncé, while Donald Trump gained endorsements from the Tate brothers, Elon Musk, and rapper Lil Wayne.

Some supporters of Trump celebrated the outcome, claiming that Americans chose “God over the devil,” with implications for a shift in cultural content, including less LGBTQ+ representation.

A twitter user reacting to the outcome said: “Kamala Harris was endorsed by the likes of P Diddy (Devil with horns), Cardi B (prostitute) , Barack Obama and Beyoncé (devil). Donald Trump was endorsed by the Tate Brothers, Elon Musk. And Lil Wayne. The People of America chose God over the devil. We gonna see less gay content”

Another user @BafanaSuprise posted pictures of Barrack obama, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris noted that”Biggest losers in history 😂😂. Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Kama Harris!
These three were forcing Men to be pregnant, they were forcing Children to transition. They were enforcing evil into this World!”

@SLH2806 said: “America is ready to heal…. He is the man who will take us there. Thanks to all of you (his family). & to all those who helped raise his voice”

@gautam_adani said: “If there is one person on Earth who stands as the embodiment of unbreakable tenacity, unshakeable grit, relentless determination and the courage to stay true to his beliefs, it is Donald Trump. Fascinating to see America’s democracy empower its people and uphold the nation’s founding principles. Congratulations to the 47th POTUS-elect”

Donald Trump won the 2024 U.S. presidential election in a stunning comeback, securing more than 270 Electoral College votes, with a victory in the key swing state of Wisconsin.

Despite legal troubles and controversies, including multiple criminal indictments, Trump prevailed by capitalising on voter concerns about the economy, immigration, and rising prices.

His campaign focused on addressing issues like inflation and crime, while presenting Kamala Harris as unable to manage these problems.

Trump’s victory was driven by strong support from rural, white, non-college-educated voters, Hispanics, and lower-income households. The win also saw Republicans gain a majority in the Senate, though control of the House remains uncertain.
