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.

  Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe dumps APGA, defects to ADC


Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe representing Abia South has officially resigned from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and declared for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).


Abaribe announced his defection today, ending weeks of speculation over his political future amid growing tensions within APGA.


The senator said his decision was informed by what he described as irreconcilable differences with the leadership and direction of APGA.


He said the ADC offered a more credible platform aligned with his political ideals and commitment to democratic accountability.


Abaribe said: “After wide consultations, I have taken the decision to formally resign from APGA and align with the African Democratic Congress, which provides a clearer vision for good governance and national renewal.”


Abaribe said: “After wide consultations, I have taken the decision to formally resign from APGA and align with the African Democratic Congress, which provides a clearer vision for good governance and national renewal.”


The lawmaker said Nigeria needs a strong and principled opposition capable of offering citizens a viable alternative ahead of the 2027 general election.


Abaribe’s exit follows months of strained relations with APGA over internal party democracy, candidate selection processes and alleged marginalisation of key stakeholders.


The senator had openly criticised the party’s leadership for what he described as unilateral decisions and failure to build consensus.


In recent months, Abaribe was also at the centre of disputes over APGA’s political strategy in Abia, with sources saying he resisted moves that would weaken the party’s independence at the national level.


He was said to be dissatisfied with APGA’s handling of alliances and its posture toward the ruling party, which he reportedly viewed as compromising the party’s founding principles.


Abaribe, a former deputy governor of Abia state and long-time APGA chieftain, had been one of the party’s most prominent national figures.
