2027: I’m Eradicating The Hunger, Poverty You Created’ — Tinubu To Opponents

According to a report by Punch, on Saturday, October 24, 2026, President Bola Tinubu blames his political opponents for Nigerian hunger and poverty, saying his administration is addressing economic issues.

The president spoke at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign flag-off rally at Ranchers Bees Stadium in Kaduna State on Saturday to launch the ruling party’s 2027 general election campaign.

Tinubu defended his administration’s efforts to help citizens and challenged the opposition’s economic criticism.

He said critics of his government should also be held accountable for past political mistakes.

While campaigning for his re-election, the APC presented its position on Nigeria’s economic situation to households and businesses.

Tinubu addressed opposition politicians’ concerns about hunger and poverty.

He claimed that his political opponents caused the issues they now used to criticize his administration.

The president said his government was working to address these issues, but hunger and poverty were still political issues.

He addressed APC supporters and others at the Kaduna campaign rally.

The party launched its presidential campaign to support Tinubu’s bid to stay in office beyond 2027.

The president used the occasion to defend his administration and dispute the opposition’s economic forecast.

Tinubu blamed Nigerians’ economic woes on the rising cost of living and the difficulty many households face in meeting their basic needs.

The president blamed his political opponents to counter hunger and poverty criticism directed at his government.

He said his administration was eliminating the issues.

As 2027 election preparations continued, the ruling party and opposition exchanged political comments.

The contest has focused on economic conditions, with politicians discussing hardship and ways to improve living standards.

His administration believes that the country’s problems should be considered in light of past political leaders’ actions, as Tinubu stated.

APC supporters gathered in Kaduna to start campaigning for the next general election.

Tinubu addressed the crowd at Ranchers Bees Stadium and addressed political critics.

Hunger and poverty were central to his defense of the government’s record at the gathering.

The president said the opposition could not blame his administration for Nigerians’ economic problems without acknowledging its own role in creating them.

He also said the government was reducing hardship.

However, the statement did not specify new hunger and poverty policies announced at the rally.

The president’s comments came amid political debate over Nigeria’s economy and successive administrations’ responsibilities for citizens’ conditions.

The APC and opposition parties have debated hunger and poverty, with political leaders arguing about the causes and efficacy of government responses.

At the campaign event, Tinubu denied his opponents’ accusations and claimed they caused the issues.

His administration was working to end hunger and poverty, he said.

His statement targeted opposition politicians who have criticized the ruling party over the economy ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Tinubu told supporters at the APC presidential campaign flag-off rally in Kaduna State on Saturday that his political opponents were responsible for the hunger and poverty they were citing in their criticism of his administration.

He defended the government’s efforts to fix the issues as the ruling party campaigned for the next general election.

The president blamed the opposition for the country’s economic problems while reiterating that his administration was working to fix them.

He said, “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.”
