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.

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

 Again, Women protest against emergency rule in Rivers Women on Wednesday thronged major streets in Port Harcourt to protest against the imposition of emergency rule in Rivers State.
