President Atiku Abubakar has described the latest warning by the United Nations that nearly 35 million Nigerians could face acute hunger between June and August 2026 as a devastating global verdict on the Tinubu administration, declaring that no government with a conscience can preside over such mass suffering and still speak the language of progress.“That is tens of millions of citizens — mothers rationing food in silence, fathers crushed by the humiliation of empty pockets, children going to bed hungry, young people losing hope, and vulnerable households slipping daily from poverty into desperation. This is not a famine caused by drought. This is not a war-induced collapse. This is not an earthquake or a natural catastrophe.This is man-made suffering. This is the consequence of economic illiteracy, policy recklessness, and leadership failure.”
