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.

A FOREIGN RULING PARTY IS DEMANDING ANSWERS FROM SOUTH AFRICA OVER THE ARREST OF A PRIVATE CITIZEN. (PHOTO).


 A foreign ruling party is demanding answers from South Africa over the arrest of a private citizen


Zimbabwe’s governing party, ZANU-PF, has reportedly requested an urgent report from South African authorities following the arrest of the son of former President Robert Mugabe.

The arrest took place in South Africa under South African law. Law enforcement decisions in South Africa fall under the authority of local police and prosecutors, not foreign political parties.


This raises serious sovereignty concerns. South Africa is not accountable to any foreign political party. If a governing party from another country expects briefings on domestic criminal matters, it challenges the principle that each state enforces its own laws independently.


At the same time, governments often communicate through diplomatic channels when their citizens are arrested abroad. That process normally happens between states, not political parties. If this is a diplomatic matter, it should follow formal state-to-state protocols.


South African authorities should clarify whether the request came through official diplomatic channels or through party structures.

They should also confirm that due process is being followed and that the case will proceed without political interference.


The key issue is simple. Criminal investigations in South Africa must remain under South African control.
