Tinubu Blames Opposition for Nigeria's Economic Woes

At the flag-off of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign in Kaduna, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stated that the opposition was responsible for the hunger and poverty in Nigeria, asserting that his administration is working to eradicate these issues. He called on Nigerians to renew his mandate in the January 2027 presidential election, emphasizing ongoing economic recovery efforts and the foundation laid for prosperity, particularly for the youth.

Tinubu defended the removal of the fuel subsidy, stating it was necessary to combat corruption and economic leakages. He expressed gratitude to Kaduna residents for their support in the 2023 presidential election and urged them to vote for him and other APC candidates.

Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani supported Tinubu’s re-election bid, citing federal government interventions in various sectors and the release of N178 billion for the rehabilitation of the Kaduna-Birnin Gwari Road, which had been neglected for over four decades.
