Blaming opposition for hunger is ‘delusion’, Atiku tells Tinubu Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of blaming the opposition for the country’s economic hardship. He said the President was trying to evade responsibility for his administration’s policies. Tinubu had earlier on Saturday blamed his political opponents for hunger and poverty in the country while speaking at the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna. “I hear my opponent talking about hunger, poverty. Who created it? They did! They created the hunger, they created the poverty. We are trying to eradicate it,” the President said. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, said Nigerians were entitled to demand answers from the APC-led government over rising living costs, poverty, insecurity and questions surrounding public expenditure.

PDP finally loses Ogun guber election battle in Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Friday put to rest the legal battle on the Ogun State governorship election with the dismissal of the petition by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its governorship candidate, Oladipupo Adebutu.

The appeal jointly brought before the apex court by the PDP and Oladipupo was thrown out on the ground of being unmeritorious.

Justice Tijani Abubakar dismissed the petition in the lead judgment he delivered.

Justice Abubakar rejected the prayer by Adebutu and the PDP for an order to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct fresh elections in the 99 polling units where elections were allegedly cancelled.

The court disagreed with the allegations of election cancellation in the 99 polling units.

On the contrary, the Supreme Court held that the All Progressives Congress, APC, and its governorship candidate, Dapo Abiodun, were lawfully declared winners of the March 18 poll by the electoral body.

Justice Abubakar agreed that the documents brought by the appellants that elections were cancelled in 99 polling units were worthless papers and lacking in evidential value for having no heading, no date and no signature and name of any official.

The court affirmed the findings and conclusions of the Ogun State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal and the Court of Appeal which had earlier dismissed the petition for want of merit.
