 Kaduna, Nigeria | Politics 

 President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly criticised his political opponents during a campaign event in Kaduna, accusing them of contributing to the hunger and poverty confronting Nigerians. 

 The reported remarks came as the All Progressives Congress (APC) commenced its campaign activities for the 2027 presidential election with a flag-off rally in Kaduna on Saturday. 

 The event brought together party leaders, supporters and political stakeholders as the ruling party began its efforts to mobilise support for Tinubu’s re-election bid.

The choice of Kaduna for the campaign launch underscores the importance of Northern Nigeria to the APC’s political strategy ahead of the 2027 elections. The party has been working to mobilise supporters across the region, where issues such as insecurity, food prices, poverty and the cost of living remain significant concerns for many residents. 

 Before the rally, APC support groups staged solidarity marches through parts of Kaduna, expressing support for Tinubu and pledging to mobilize voters for the next election. 

The reported criticism of opposition figures comes amid an ongoing political debate over responsibility for Nigeria’s economic difficulties and the effectiveness of the Tinubu administration’s policies. 

 The Federal Government has defended its economic reforms, arguing that they are intended to correct structural problems and establish the foundations for long-term prosperity. However, opposition figures have continued to question the impact of those policies on household incomes, food affordability and living standards. 

 The government has also announced a 90-day action plan focused on areas including food affordability, household support, tax harmonisation and the removal of investment barriers. Opposition figures have questioned the timing and likely impact of the initiative ahead of the 2027 election. 

 The Kaduna rally marks an important stage in preparations for the next presidential election, with the APC and opposition parties increasingly exchanging criticisms over governance, economic performance and their respective plans for the country. 

 Tinubu’s reported remarks reflect the intensifying political contest, although the specific wording and context of his allegation against opponents could not be independently confirmed from the reports reviewed. 

 As the campaigns progress, voters will have opportunities to examine the claims made by political parties and assess their records, policy proposals and plans for addressing Nigeria’s economic challenges.
