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.

 ‘I’ll turn off the mic’ — Remi Tinubu reins in Adeleke’s singing at Ooni’s anniversary


First Lady Oluremi Tinubu cautioned Ademola Adeleke, the Osun state governor, for prolonged singing during his remarks at the 10th coronation anniversary celebration of Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife.

The moment, captured in a now-viral video, occurred as the governor mounted the podium on Sunday to pay tribute to the monarch and to congratulate the Remi on her newly bestowed chieftaincy title, Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua.

Rather than proceed immediately with his formal message, Adeleke, popularly known as the “Dancing Governor” for his spirited public appearances, burst into a short musical chant, drawing laughter from parts of the audience.

Remi, who had moments earlier received her traditional title from the Ooni, walked towards the podium, gestured lightly to the governor, and whispered to him to proceed with his statement.

“Go ahead,” she was heard saying, in an attempt to steer the event back to its programme of activities.

As she returned to her seat, Adeleke resumed singing, prompting her to turn back and intervene more firmly.

“Enough with the music, or I’ll switch off the microphone,” she told the governor, adding that he had “five minutes to conclude” his remarks.

Her comment drew a ripple of laughter and murmurs across the venue, with many guests appearing surprised by the exchange.

The short incident quickly spread across social media platforms, with Nigerians offering varied interpretations — some describing the moment as playful, while others viewed it as a pointed reminder of decorum at a royal ceremony.

Adeleke, known for incorporating music and dance into his public engagements, continued his speech after the first lady’s comment.

The Osun governor has not issued an official comment on the viral clip, nor has the first lady’s office released a statement beyond what was captured on video.
