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.

U.S MAY INCREASE ADMISSIONS QUOTA FOR WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS. (PHOTO).


 U.S may increase admissions quota for White South Africans


The United States may increase the current quota of refugees permitted into the country annually, which is now at a historic low of 7,500 people, a State Department official says, Reuters reported.


Most of the recently admitted refugees are white farmers from South Africa, with US President Donald Trump drastically cutting the number of refugees for the fiscal year 2026 from the 125,000 recorded the previous year.


Washington approved white South Africans’ applications on the false claims that they faced a risk of death and discrimination.


These claims have been refuted by South African authorities.


Increased pace of resettlements


"Not to get ahead of the White House, the President, on this, it's ultimately his decision but I think definitely we are looking to think about it the next fiscal year, but also before that," said Andrew Veprek, assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration.


"We're looking at the pace of resettlement right now and thinking about how it is going."


Veprek declined to confirm whether the refugee entry quota might be expanded to other nationalities or ethnic groups.


Speaking at a Center for Immigration Studies event, Veprek noted the responsibility for refugee resettlement in the US shifted to the Department of Health and Human Services in January.
