President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has blamed the widespread hunger in the nation on his political rival Atiku Abubakar and some previous government officials. At a presidential rally in Rivers State, Tinubu accused Atiku of misusing state resources for personal gain. He also expressed confidence in his support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the rainbow coalition ahead of the 2027 general election.
Tinubu praised Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara for his maturity and respect for elders, stating that he would not regret intervening on Fubara's behalf during a political crisis. Tinubu claimed that Atiku is responsible for creating the current mess, challenging Atiku to explain how he built a university while serving as Vice President in charge of the economy.
The rally gathered APC leaders, governors, and supporters in Port Harcourt, where Tinubu pledged that Rivers State would provide three million votes for his re-election bid in 2027.
