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.

 US Court Rejects Request by 14 States to Limit DOGE’s Powers


A Federal Court in Washington, D.C., has dismissed a request by 14 states seeking to impose restrictions on the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), The Hill reported on Wednesday.


The lawsuit, filed on February 13, 2024, targeted President Donald Trump and DOGE head Elon Musk, alleging that the agency wielded excessive power in violation of the U.S. Constitution. The states argued that Musk was not formally appointed by the president nor confirmed by the Senate, thereby breaching Article 2 of the Constitution.


However, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, in her ruling, acknowledged concerns over DOGE’s broad authority and lack of Senate oversight but stated that the court could not impose restrictions without “clear evidence of imminent, irreparable harm” caused by the agency.


The ruling follows DOGE’s claim that it has saved American taxpayers $55 billion in less than a month.


Meanwhile, in February, New York Attorney General Letitia James criticized DOGE’s access to government information, calling it “unlawful, unprecedented, and unacceptable.”


Shortly after taking office, Trump signed an executive order renaming the U.S. Digital Service—originally created during Barack Obama’s presidency—as the U.S. DOGE Service. Musk was appointed to lead the agency, with a focus on cutting costs and restructuring federal agencies.
