Trending News: The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has described reports that more than 17 million Nigerians, including infants and young children, are facing acute hunger as a growing humanitarian disaster created by the President Bola Tinubu administration’s incompetence, misplaced priorities and failed policies. ADC’s spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi said Nigerians are dying of starvation under his administration. He was reacting to a United Nations World Food Programme, WFP, report showing that more than 17 million Nigerians across nine conflict-affected northern states are facing acute hunger. A statement signed by Abdullahi, condemned the Tinubu-led APC Federal Government for what it described as its “cruel indifference” to the growing humanitarian crisis brought about principally by its failure to contain the banditry and terrorism that has displaced farming communities, as well as the harsh economic policies that have pushed food beyond the reach of millions of Nigerians. The full statement read: “The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has received with profound concern the latest assessment by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), which confirms that Nigeria is now facing one of its worst food security emergencies in almost a decade.” “According to the WFP, more than 17 million Nigerians across nine conflict-affected northern states are now facing Crisis, Emergency or Catastrophic levels of food insecurity.” “This represents an increase of almost two million people from previous projections. In Borno State alone, more than three million people are acutely food insecure, while the combined figure for Borno, Adamawa and Yobe has risen to 6.2 million people. “These are not opposition figures. They are not campaign slogans. They are the findings of the world’s leading humanitarian agency on hunger. “In other words, the hunger confronting millions of Nigerians today is not a natural disaster. It is an APC-inspired government-created humanitarian disaster. “This humanitarian crisis is also the predictable outcome of a government that has failed to secure Nigerian lives, failed to protect Nigerian farmers and failed to address the cost-of-living crisis that it has created. “For three years, the Tinubu government has repeatedly told Nigerians that the pain that we experiencing is temporary. The WFP has now confirmed what Nigerians have been saying all along: insecurity is spreading, agricultural production is declining, food inflation is worsening and millions of us, the Nigerian people, are being pushed deeper into hunger.”Over 1.6 Million Nigerians Benefit from NELFUND, Reps RevealDavido Explains Why He Highlighted Nigeria’s Kidnapping Crisis at FIFA World CupPeller Reportedly Held by Police Since Friday, Says Tunde PerryFrom Banking to Government: How Alex Otti Is Redefining Leadership in Abia2027: Amaechi Pays Courtesy Visit to Dino MelayeNigeria to Evacuate More Citizens from South Africa as Xenophobic Violence PersistsTony Elumelu to Retire as UBA Group Chairman, Emmanuel Nnorom Named SuccessorHaaland Fires Norway Past Brazil as England Reach World Cup Quarter-finalsAero Contractors CEO Seeks Stronger Government-Private Sector Collaboration to Grow AviationFrom Northampton to Home: How Governor Otti’s Speech Rekindled Rosie Young’s Connection to AbiaActress Uche Ogbodo’s husband shares cryptic post as they unfollow each other on IGNeymar retires from international football after Brazil’s World Cup exitTech mogul Bryan Johnson reveals he is suffering from incurable autoimmune diseaseRussian airstrike k!lls 23-year-old femalr Nigerian medical graduate in Ukraine days to graduation ceremonyCourt remands man for allegedly r@ping 18-year old hawker in OndoPlastic surgeon found de@d in backyard pool after botched operation k!lled patientFederal Government set to welcome 270 more Nigerian returnees from South Africa on WednesdayMan d!es in freak accident after falling from escalator at a shopping mallIf this was AFCON the nonsense being said would be crazy — Former Congolese footballer Yannick Bolasie slams FIFA over Balogun red card reversalNiMet warns of flooding in Lagos and 26 other statesMilitary Rescues Two Girls Held by Terrorists in BornoFour Arrested as Police Recover Stolen Motorcycle and Vehicle in Bauchi‘No Pretence, I’m a Nepo Baby’ — Temi Otedola Opens Up About Family PrivilegeSevere Rainstorm and Strong Winds Cause Widespread Damage in Jigawa‘We Want Revenge’: Mourners Chant as Ali Khamenei’s Funeral Procession Moves Through TehranMasquerade, Followers Defy Olubadan’s Order, Allegedly Kill 24-Year-Old Man‘Football Is Not a Political Playground’ — Blatter Speaks on Balogun Decision2026 Ballon d’Or Rankings: Top Four Contenders After Round of 16Nigeria’s Poverty Crisis Is a Local Government Issue, Presidency DeclaresNigerian Banks, Fintechs Urged to Partner Galaxy Backbone on CybersecurityJonathan Denies Receiving N500 Billion to Contest Against Peter Obi in 2027Peter Obi Criticises Tinubu’s Response to Oyo and Borno Abductions54 Days in Captivity: Abducted Schoolchildren Face Deadly Health Risks in Heavy RainsWorld Cup 2026: How Trump’s Phone Call Saved Balogun’s World Cup DreamGovernor Soludo’s Son Sparks Controversy by Dancing to Song Criticizing Politicians Including His FatherMen Have Only Money to Offer: Toke Makinwa Defends Modern Nigerian Women”World Cup 2026: Trump Hails FIFA’s Suspension of Balogun Ban as “Great Injustice” ReversedSokoto Under Siege: Bandits Leave 6 Dead, 30 Villages DestroyedUnited States To Track How Nigeria Conducts Its 2027 General Election- Riley MooreGrand Corruption: Peter Obi Renews Call for Tinubu’s Resignation Over Alleged ₦8.83tn Budget DiscrepancyFG Denies Spending ₦8tn Outside 2025 Budget, Says IMF Report Misinterpreted2027: Voting APC Means Backing Terrorists, Aisha Yesufu AllegesFlooding could persist till September and contaminate drinking water – NiHSA warnsNigerian Catholic priest di£s unexpectedly at 54 after he shared his heartbreak at being ordered to return to Africa from MassachusettsNigerian-British grandma arrested with 13kg cocaine concealed in plantain peels (video)Woman burns co-wife to death as husband escapesDon’t d!e for Nigeria.
