I won this election - President Trump insists as Joe Biden is declared winner of US Presidential election

 

President Donald Trump has insisted that he won the 2020 presidential election in the United States of America. 

 

The US President shared series of tweets on Saturday November 7, in which he made unsubstantiated allegations of illegality in the voting process - all of which were labelled as disputed and potentially misleading by Twitter. He also insisted he had won the election "by a lot".

 

Trump tweeted; 

 

I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!

 

 

CNN also reported that sources in the White House have disclosed that the President said he won't be accepting the election result. They also disclosed that he will be challenging the election result in court from Monday November 9. 

 

LIB reported that Joe Biden has been elected the 46th president of the United States, achieving a decades-long political ambition and denying Donald Trump a second term after a deeply divisive presidency defined by a once-in-a-century pandemic, economic turmoil and social unrest.

 

Biden won the presidency by clinching Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes, after several days of painstaking vote counting following record turnout across the country. The win in Pennsylvania, which the Associated Press called at 11:25am EST on Saturday with 99% of the votes counted, took Biden’s electoral college vote to 284, surpassing the 270 needed to win the White House.

Donald Trump Jr urges his dad to 'fight to the death' and 'go to total war' to expose election 'cheating and fraud'

 

Donald Trump Jr has urged his father to 'fight to the death' over the presidential election and 'go to total war' to expose election 'cheating and fraud' as Joe Biden is still leading in their race. 

 

President Donald Trump's eldest son made the comments on Thursday November 5, as he spoke at a news conference at the Georgia Republican Party Headquarters in Atlanta

 

'I think the number one thing Donald Trump can do in this election is fight each and every one of these battles to the death so that we get full transparency in the process,' Don Jr said. 

 

'And everyone on the Democrat side should welcome this unless they are actually cheating.'

 

He also accused Democrats of ignoring election deadlines, claiming boxes of invalid ballots 'magically' appeared in Democratic states and counties after voting had ended. 

 

'We know that's against the law, but you get in front of a Democrat judge in a Democrat city with Democrat control and it's okay,' he said.  

 

'I think the Democrats are used to this from a Republican party that hasn't had a backbone - you're not going to see that this time around,' he added, prompting cheers from the crowd. 

 

He also claimed it was a 'statistical impossibility' for his father not to receive a single vote in some counties where up to 123,000 ballots were all counted in Joe Biden's favor. 

 

'Does anyone believe that this is possible?' he asked, drawing a resounding 'no' from the crowd.

 

'Because it's not, it's a statistical impossibility. It's happened not just once, it's happened over and over again.' 

 

'Americans need to know that this is not a banana republic and right now very few people have faith that's not the case,' he added.

 

Don Jr made similar comments in a tweet yesterday, in which he said his father should 'go to total war' and 'expose all of the fraud that has been going on for far too long.'

 

Update: Rivers varsity lifts suspension order on two students over Facebook posts

 

The management of the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAEU) has lifted the suspension of two of its students over their alleged inciting Facebook posts.

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Ozo-Mekuri Ndimele, who confirmed the pardon in statement issued on Friday, November 6, said the decision was taken following appeals from well-meaning individuals and human rights groups.

Two other male students caught in a female hostel have also been pardoned by the management. Recall that the school had banned intersex visits to hostels following the gang rape of a female student by three of her colleagues. 

"In like manner, the two male students caught in the female hostel are hereby forgiven.
The Management, however, warns that henceforth, any student who does anything capable of bringing the University to public ridicule will be disciplined according to the rules and regulations of the University." the statement added.

I have not purchased an official car since I became Governor - Sanwo-Olu

 

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has disclosed that he has not purchased an official car for himself since he assumed office in May 2019, 

 

The Lagos state Governor who revealed this at the 22nd Annual Tax Conference of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria held at Eko Hotel, Victoria Island in Lagos on Thursday November 5, urged other governors to look into their expenditure profile and do away with unnecessary spending to increase state revenue for the government to have more resources to meet the basic needs of the people. 

 

Stressing the need for better utilisation of taxpayers’ money by public officeholders, Governor Sanwo-Olu further revealed that the cars in his convoy are those he used during his campaign. 

 

He said; 

 

“We need to look at our expenditure profile as chief executive of our state and ask ourselves, where can I cut the red tape; what can I do away with so as to increase the revenue of my state or even make available more money for my state?

“What I have done till date is that I have not purchased any single official vehicle for myself, for any of my personal staff or any of my family members from the government purse. If you see me have a convoy of 10 vehicles, these are all vehicles I was using during my campaigns.

“Governor Nasir el-Rufai joined me in one of my cars this morning and I can tell you that vehicle was one of the vehicles I used for my campaign; it is not brand new.

“So, I said to my people that, it is not a fanciful thing that every governor must begin to buy brand new vehicles when you do not need to. So, all of those millions have gone back into the treasury of the state and we are using it to develop the state very well.
