2027: Again, Tinubu blames Atiku for hunger in Nigeria

President Bola Tinubu once again attributed Nigeria's ongoing hunger crisis to his opposition rival, Atiku Abubakar, during a recent campaign rally in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Tinubu asserted that the hunger situation did not begin during his administration and that it was a result of years of poor leadership under Atiku and other opposition leaders who previously held office.

According to the President, Atiku and his associates had the opportunity to improve Nigeria while in power but instead squandered the resources at their disposal. Tinubu emphasized that Atiku, who served as Vice President for eight years, had the authority to bring about positive change but failed to do so. The opposition leader accused them of using the hunger issue as a means to attack his government, claiming that their primary concern is securing power rather than addressing the well-being of Nigerians.

Tinubu's administration, in response, is actively working to alleviate hunger by investing in agriculture, food production, and job creation.
