During the 12-minutes call, 12-year-old Josephine and her father who are from Ibadan in Oyo state, also got the chance to speak with the first lady, Jill Biden.
The 12-year-old girl said she has always only seen him (Biden) on TV, adding that talking to him is a dream come true. She also wished the new president a smooth tenure.
