2027: Atiku, Peter Obi, others responsible for poverty and hunger in Nigeria – Tinubu

The President Bola Tinubu has alleged that the opposition parties in the 2027 presidential election namely Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and other opposition members, are to blame for the existence of poverty and hunger in the country.

The allegation was made by Tinubu on Saturday during the APC flag-off campaign for 2027 general elections in Kaduna state.

“I hear my opponents talking about hunger and poverty. Who created it? They did! To you, the children of our country, it’s a promise of a second term – prosperity; you will not regret it,” the President said.

Tinubu’s remarks come amid public concerns over the rising cost of living, food prices and economic hardship following the removal of petrol subsidy and other economic reforms introduced by his administration.

Tinubu has repeatedly defended his policies, arguing that they are necessary to stabilise the economy and deliver long-term prosperity.

However, opposition leaders have criticised the administration over inflation, insecurity and the worsening living conditions of many Nigerians as political parties prepare for the 2027 general elections.
