Biden May Stop Trump From Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral – Lifestyle Nigeria
JOE Biden could decide not to include Donald Trump in the US delegation heading to the UK to attend Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral next week, CNN anchor Jake Tapper suggested.
Joe Biden has confirmed he is planning to attend the Queen’s state funeral, which is to be held at 11am on September 19, 2022 at Westminster Abbey. The US President now faces the challenge of settling on a delegation of US politicians to accompany him, and deciding whether to include his living predecessors in the mix. CNN anchor Jake Tapper suggested Mr Biden could choose not to issue an invite to Donald Trump but noted it would be a “clever move” to give the 45th President the chance to join in.
Mr Tapper said: “There’s something that is fascinating me which is the notion it is going to be basically left up to President Biden as to whether brings other presidents to the Queen’s funeral.
“The UK has made it very clear that’s up to the President, he’s invited and he can bring whatever delegation.
“So, obviously, Obama, Carter, Buch, no brainers. What about Trump? Will he invite Trump? I think the clever move is to invite him and see if he goes.
“I don’t think former President Trump would want to be subordinate on Air Force One and he prefers his own plane anyway.”

Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny said Mr Biden is now faced with a protocol and diplomacy issue on whether to bring Mr Trump along to London.
Mr Zeleny said: “We’ll see. That is a difficult question of protocol, of diplomacy.
“But I’m told by a couple of diplomatic officials Buckingham Palace is leaving it to every country individually.
“In this case, it would be an easy solution if Trump wasn’t in the picture. President Obama, when he was in office, he invited President Bush, President Clinton, President Carter to go to Nelson Mandela’s funeral as part of the delegation.

“So there is protocol for US presidents to invite other presidents. Who knows, maybe, in the spirit of forgiving and giving, President Biden will invite Donald Trump on Air Force One.
“I doubt it will happen but I expect some kind of bipartisan delegation. The White House is saying, ‘we’re not saying anything about this until the Palace makes funeral arrangements.”
Donald Trump is known to be an admirer of the late Queen and has often gushed about repeatedly meeting her whilst in office.

Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal will on October 26 begin a full hearing of the petition filed by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the declaration of Senator Ademola Adeleke as governor-elect.
Lifestyle Nigeria reports that the tribunal made this pronouncement after concluding the pre-hearing session on Thursday.
The tribunal was asked to dismiss the applications of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), seeking the discontinuation of the petition brought to it by Governor Oyetola.
Counsel for Oyetola and the APC, Lasun Sanusi, SAN, at the sitting of the tribunal argued that Adeleke’s, PDP’s and INEC’s reliance on a Federal Court High judgment was nothing but an abuse of court process.
Sanusi argued this while replying to separate applications of the trio, seeking the dismissal of the petition based on the already appealed Federal High Court judgment disqualifying Oyetola from contesting the election.
Citing Supreme Court decisions in the case of Jegede Vs INEC, 2021, 14NWLR, Pt 1797, page 409, the counsel said the court had ruled that the signatories to the letter conveying the nomination of a candidate were not the nominators; rather, the nomination was done by party members at the congress, hence, the judgment could not stand.
Meanwhile, the counsel for INEC, Prof. Paul Ananaba, SAN; counsel for Adeleke, Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN and counsel for the PDP, Dr. Alex Izinyon, SAN, agreed that any decision the tribunal would take on the matter would have to wait until the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court decided on it.
They noted that they just decided to argue the applications to have it on record, a position which the tribunal agreed with and put on record.
Also, in other applications totalling nine by the three respondents, they asked the tribunal to strike out some paragraphs of the petition on the grounds that they were either lumped together or not related to the 2022 election.
In response to each of the applications, Sanusi said all the cases cited by the respondents were misconceived, adding that they were not applicable in the instance case.
He cited the case of INEC Vs Otti, 2016, 8NWLR, where the Supreme Court hinted that INEC was supposed to be neutral, arguing that all the processes filed before the panel have not portrayed the commission’s neutrality.
Sanusi further argued that the applications filed by the respondents were only meant to prevent the tribunal from focusing on hearing the petition on merit, asking the panel to dismiss the applications.
Subsequently, counsel for all parties in the matter agreed to begin the full hearing starting with the calling of witnesses on October 26.
In his ruling, the tribunal declared the pre-hearing session concluded and announced that the pre-hearing conference report would be presented on October 17.
