Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu, defended the Nigerian government against accusations of human rights violations made by the UK Trade Union Congress (TUC), labeling the claims as 'unfounded' and a misunderstanding of the situation. He referenced the ongoing investigation into Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) President Joe Ajaero, who was barred from travel due to legal scrutiny, drawing parallels with the legal challenges faced by figures like Donald Trump and Hunter Biden. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden faced backlash for a verbal slip regarding the commemoration of the 9/11 attacks, which overshadowed his schedule that included attending his granddaughter's birthday and a debate. The gaffe sparked significant criticism on social media, reinforcing ongoing concerns about Biden's public speaking abilities amid his declining approval ratings. Additionally, Biden hosted NCAA championship-winning teams at the White House, with a humorous exchange about superstitious underwear with UConn's coach, further showcasing the lighter moments amidst serious political discourse.
