KADUNA, NIGERIA — President Bola Tinubu has blamed his political opponents for creating hunger and poverty in Nigeria. The President made the remark on Saturday during an APC campaign rally in Kaduna.
The rally was held at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium. It was attended by thousands of party supporters.
The Attack on Opponents
Tinubu accused the opposition of mismanaging the country’s resources. He said their policies led to economic hardship.
“Those who are complaining today are the ones who created the problems we are facing. They had the opportunity to fix Nigeria, but they failed,” Tinubu said.
He said his administration is working to correct the mistakes of the past. He urged Nigerians to support him in his efforts.
Defending His Reforms
The President defended his economic reforms. He said the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of exchange rates were necessary to save the country from collapse.
He said the reforms have attracted investment and improved revenue. He urged Nigerians to be patient.
“We are building a new Nigeria. It will take time, but we will get there,” he said.
Appeal for Votes
Tinubu urged the people of Kaduna to vote for the APC in the 2027 elections. He said the party has the vision and competence to lead Nigeria.
“I am asking for your votes. Give me another four years to complete the work I have started,” he said.
What This Means
The rally is part of the APC’s campaign strategy. The party is seeking to consolidate its support in the North.
The President’s remarks highlight the political stakes ahead of the 2027 elections. He is positioning himself as the solution to the problems he blames on the opposition.
What Happens Next
The APC will continue its campaign across the country. It will also intensify its efforts to mobilise voters.
For now, the focus is on building support for the President’s re-election. The coming months will reveal whether the strategy will succeed.
