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. In a statement issued on Saturday by the Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Ca...

 Kast sworn in as Chilean president, vows strict crime measures

  Conservative leader José Antonio Kast was sworn in Wednesday as Chile’s president, taking over from outgoing leftist President Gabriel Boric and promising a tough approach to crime and irregular migration. Kast, a 60-year-old lawyer and former Republican Party leader, won the presidency on his third attempt, campaigning on an “emergency government” agenda aimed at dismantling organized crime networks and tightening border controls.

The inauguration took place at Chile’s National Congress in Valparaiso, attended by roughly 1,100 guests, including Latin American presidents, Spain’s King Felipe VI, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau. Kast assumed office amid heightened security after a police officer was shot in the head earlier that day. Speaking before taking the oath, he vowed to pursue, prosecute, and imprison anyone who attacks Chilean police. Public concern over rising homicides, kidnappings, and extortion has fueled Kast’s hardline stance. He also pledged to deport roughly 350,000 undocumented migrants and secure Chile’s northern border.

Kast’s election reflects a broader conservative shift in parts of Latin America. He recently attended the “Shield of the Americas” summit near Miami alongside allies of former U.S. President Donald Trump. Foreign policy tensions marked the final days of Boric’s government, particularly over a proposed undersea fiber-optic cable connecting Chile and Hong Kong, which raised U.S. concerns over Chinese involvement in critical infrastructure. U.S. Ambassador to Chile Brandon Judd, present at the inauguration, said he expects closer cooperation under Kast and emphasized that U.S. concerns focus on critical infrastructure rather than trade. Economically, Kast’s government plans to cut $6 billion in public spending over 18 months, with Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz ordering a 3% reduction across all ministries.
