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.

 Rivers LGA Chairman Appoints 100 Aides, Just Weeks After Naming 130 Special Assistants

Chijioke Ihunwo, Chairman of Obio-Akpor Local Government Area (LGA) in Rivers State, has appointed an additional 100 special assistants, only weeks after naming 130 new appointees to his team.


On January 18, Ihunwo shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “I have appointed an additional one hundred persons as Special Assistants to help me achieve my plans for my people.”


The new appointees include Augustina Elodi, Obi Chima, Abi Chinazor Clara, Ginikachukwu Onyeagusi, Chigozie Emmanuel Esinulo, Sunday Confidence Onyinyechi, and Nworgu Namdi Emmanuel.


Earlier this month, Ihunwo also named 130 special advisers, urging them to serve diligently for the benefit of Obio/Akpor LGA. This follows a similar pattern, as in July 2024, he had appointed 100 special assistants during his tenure as caretaker committee chairman.


Ihunwo, a close ally of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, has faced controversy over his actions, including the removal of Nyesom Wike’s name from the administrative block of the council secretariat in October. Wike, the former governor of Rivers State, is from Rumuepirikom in Obio-Akpor LGA, and his ongoing political rivalry with Fubara has created tension in the state.
