Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Monday criticised the administration of President Bola Tinubu over worsening hunger and economic hardship in the country.
Atiku said the recent warning by the United Nations that about 35 million Nigerians could face acute hunger between June and August 2026 reflected what he described as the failure of the current administration.
In a statement issued in Abuja by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, the former Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate said the situation had moved beyond economic hardship to a humanitarian crisis.
“This is not just another alarming statistic. This is a human tragedy of terrifying proportions,” Atiku said.
