Tinubu blames opposition for hunger, poverty in Nigeria, Atiku kicks, says president delusional

President Bola Tinubu formally launched his 2027 presidential campaign in Kaduna on Saturday, where he attributed the current economic hardship, hunger, and poverty in Nigeria to the actions of opposition politicians. While the President stated that his administration is actively working to resolve these national challenges, he maintained that political opponents are responsible for the prevailing conditions.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar responded by labeling the President’s remarks as delusional. Abubakar criticized the administration for attempting to shift responsibility for economic difficulties onto the opposition, asserting that the government must be held accountable for its own performance and record as the 2027 election cycle approaches.
