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.

 Assemblies of God Clarifies Alleged Wedding Cancellation in Aba

The Aba Central District Presbytery of the Assemblies of God Church has addressed viral social media reports claiming a wedding was canceled at its Okpu 9 branch in Aba on Sunday, April 27, 2025. In a statement issued by District Secretary Rev. Dr. Chidiogo Enyinnaya, the church provided clarity on the circumstances surrounding the failed wedding of Mr. Obioma Onyekachi, a former member, after conducting a thorough investigation.


According to the church, Mr. Onyekachi had received approval to hold his wedding at the church despite an initial disagreement over a tradition requiring the bride to stay at the parsonage the night before the ceremony. The groom objected, citing his in-laws’ preference for the bride to arrive from her home on the wedding day. After discussions, the church leadership agreed to the couple’s request.


However, on the scheduled day, neither the bride nor groom attended the morning church service. They arrived at approximately 12:15 PM, when the service was concluding and most congregants had left. Mr. Onyekachi attributed the delay to a last-minute issue with their wedding gown vendor, admitting he failed to notify the church due to the pressure of the situation.


The Presbytery emphasized that the wedding did not proceed solely due to the couple’s late arrival, not the earlier disagreement over the parsonage stay, which had been resolved. The church refuted claims linking the cancellation to this issue, as suggested by some social media posts.


Mr. Onyekachi denied initiating or authorizing the viral social media reports, attributing them to emotional reactions from friends or family. He apologized to the church leadership and pledged to correct the misinformation.


While some criticized the church for not conducting the wedding upon the couple’s late arrival, the Presbytery expressed its commitment to supporting Mr. Onyekachi moving forward, encouraging him after the challenging experience.


The Assemblies of God urged the public to rely on verified information and avoid spreading unconfirmed reports.
