President Tinubu Blamed His Political Opponents For The Hunger And Poverty Confronting Nigerians

According To Vanguard, On Saturday 24th October, 2026, President Bola Tinubu has blamed his political opponents for the hunger and poverty confronting Nigerians, insisting that his administration is working to address the economic challenges facing the country. The president made the remarks on Saturday during the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign flag off rally at Ranchers Bees Stadium, also known as Kaduna Township Stadium, in Kaduna State, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Tinubu, while addressing party supporters and other attendees, responded to criticisms from opposition figures over the rising cost of living and the economic difficulties experienced by Nigerians. He accused his political opponents of creating the conditions responsible for the hardship in the country, arguing that his administration was making efforts to reverse the situation.

I have an argument. 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. The statement comes amid growing political debates over the impact of the Federal Government economic policies, with opposition parties frequently raising concerns about inflation, food prices and the declining purchasing power of many households.

Tinubu administration has maintained that its economic reforms are intended to stabilise the economy, attract investment and create conditions for long term growth. However, the policies have also attracted criticism from opposition politicians and other Nigerians who have expressed concerns about their immediate effects on living standards.

The Kaduna rally marked a major campaign event for the APC as the party began mobilising support ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The gathering brought together party members, supporters and political stakeholders to demonstrate their support for Tinubu second term ambition. The president remarks placed the issue of hunger and poverty at the centre of the emerging political contest, as the ruling party and opposition groups continued to debate responsibility for the country economic difficulties.

With the 2027 elections approaching, economic management, food affordability and measures to improve Nigerians living conditions are expected to remain prominent issues in political campaigns and public discussions.
