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.

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...

 Peter Obi Refutes Allegations of Working for Abacha with 1996 Document Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has debunked claims that he worked closely with the late General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s military Head of State from 1993 to 1998. The rebuttal follows accusations by Reno Omokri, a vocal critic, who alleged that Obi was personally selected by Abacha to lead a task force on port decongestion. In a video posted on X on July 3, Omokri claimed, “Abacha and Peter Obi worked hand-in-hand; Abacha personally selected Peter Obi to head a task force to decongest the ports. I’ve got documentary evidence to back up what I’m saying.” He further threatened to release evidence if Obi denied the association. In response, Obi, a former Anambra State governor, shared a document on X on Wednesday, July 9, titled “Appointment as co-opted members of the task force on ports decongestion.” Dated April 24, 1996, and signed by Abu Gidado, the then Minister of State for Finance,...

 CARLO ANCELOTTI BAGS ONE-YEAR PRISON TERM FOR TAX FRAUD The head coach of Brazil, Carlo Ancelotti, has been sentenced to a one-year prison term for tax fraud.  According to a judgement delivered by a Spanish court on Wednesday, Ancelotti failed to pay tax on his image rights revenues when he was manager of Real Madrid in 2014. According to legal experts, it is unlikely for anyone with no previous conviction to serve a jail term if sentenced to a jail term below two years. Meanwhile, Ancelotti was acquitted of another tax offense committed in 2015 and related to image rights while he was manager at Real Madrid.
