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.

SOUTH KOREA'S IMPEACHED PRESIDENT, YOON TO SKIP FIRST TRAIL HEARING. (PHOTO).


 South Korea’s impeached President, Yoon to skip first trial hearing.


South Korea’s impeached President, Yoon Suk Yeol, will not attend the first hearing of his impeachment trial, scheduled for next week, due to safety concerns.


This was disclosed in a statement by his lawyer, Yoon Kab-keun, on Sunday.


The embattled president has been holed up in the presidential residence, protected by an elite guard unit since his suspension and impeachment last month, following a short-lived declaration of martial law that plunged the country into political chaos.


Yoon has refused to meet with prosecutors and investigators, with his presidential guard unit thwarting an attempt to arrest him after a tense, hours-long standoff earlier this month.


The Constitutional Court has scheduled five trial dates, spanning from January 14 to February 4, DAILY POST reports. The hearings will proceed in Yoon’s absence if he does not attend.


“Concerns about safety and potential incidents have arisen. Therefore, the President will not be able to attend the trial on January 14.


“The President is willing to appear at any time once safety issues are resolved,” his lawyer, Yoon Kab-keun, stated.


The court will decide whether to uphold Yoon’s impeachment or restore him to office.


Separately, investigators seeking to question Yoon on insurrection charges linked to his failed martial law declaration are preparing another attempt to arrest him.
