President Bola Tinubu has blamed his political opponents for hunger and poverty in Nigeria, saying his administration is working to address the challenges.\n<\/p>\n
Tinubu spoke on Saturday at the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign flag-off rally at Ranchers Bees Stadium in Kaduna State ahead of the 2027 general elections.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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,\u201d the President said.\n<\/p>\n
He also defended his administration\u2019s record on salary payments and praised governors for their performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe pay salaries regularly. Our governors are working. I am proud of them. They are developing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Tinubu thanked the people of Kaduna State for their support during the previous presidential election, saying their votes contributed to his victory. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou gave me joy to remember the victory you gave me to become president. I come again to thank you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The President appealed to the electorate to give him another mandate, saying he wanted to sustain his promise of prosperity, continuity, progress and development.\n<\/p>\n
Tinubu also addressed Nigerian children at the rally, describing his administration\u2019s commitment to the country\u2019s future as a promise, although the available transcription ends before he completes the statement.\n<\/p>\n
The rally at Ranchers Bees Stadium, also known as Kaduna Township Stadium, marked the formal launch of the APC\u2019s presidential campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.\n<\/p>\n
The party chose Kaduna for the flag-off as it began mobilising support for Tinubu\u2019s second-term bid, with party leaders and supporters gathering from across the country.\n<\/p>\n
