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.

Jimmy Carter's Heroic Intervention: How He Saved Olusegun Obasanjo from Abacha's Detention


By Izon Daily 


Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed the remarkable story of how Jimmy Carter, the late former US President, intervened to save his life during his detention under General Sanni Abacha's regime. Obasanjo paid tribute to Carter at a memorial service, describing him as a "titan and man of peace".


According to Obasanjo, Carter's efforts led to his transfer from detention to house arrest on his farm, which was a significant reprieve during a dark period. Carter was the only non-African leader to personally visit Abacha and advocate for Obasanjo's release. This courageous act was a testament to Carter's commitment to human rights and justice.


Obasanjo also shared how media mogul Ted Turner, inspired by Carter's advocacy, offered to support him and his family if they relocated abroad. This generous offer was a result of Carter's influence and compassion, which had a profound impact on Obasanjo's life ¹.


Carter's legacy as a champion of human rights and democracy is evident in his heroic intervention in Obasanjo's case. His selfless efforts continue to inspire leaders and individuals around the world.
