Just In: United Nations Technically Passes A Vote-Of-No-Confidence On President Bola Tinubu's Administration,
Ahead Of The 2027 Elections; Raises Fresh Alarm; Reveals That More Than 17 Million Northerners Have Been Pushed Closer To Starvation Under The Current APC Presidency; The Worst In The History Of Nigeria's Democracy
The United Nations, UN, on Friday, raised fresh concerns over Nigeria's worsening humanitarian crisis, warning that more than 17 million people across Northern Nigeria, are facing severe hunger, with insecurity, displacement and dwindling humanitarian support, pushing millions closer to starvation under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration.
According to the United Nations World Food Programme, WFP, Northern Nigeria is experiencing one of its worst food crisis in nearly a decade. A recent Cadre Harmonisé food security assessment found that more than 17 million people across conflict-affected Northern States, are facing crisis, emergency or catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
The UN stated that Borno State remains the epicentre of the crisis, where millions require urgent humanitarian assistance. It warned that worsening insecurity, attacks on farming communities, restricted humanitarian access and severe funding shortages, have combined to deepen the sufferings of millions.
Expressing concern over the deteriorating situation, the WFP Regional Director for West and Central Africa, Kinday Samba, said:
"What concerns us most is how this crisis is expanding.
"For years, insurgent attacks and violence were largely concentrated in parts of North-East Nigeria. Today, they are spreading across a much wider area, and forcing people from farmlands, driving displacement and restricting humanitarian access, meaning hunger is quick to follow."
The UN also disclosed that although 6.2 million people across Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States, urgently require food assistance, available resources are sufficient to reach only a fraction of those in need, leaving millions of vulnerable Nigerians in the North, without life-saving support.
The report has renewed scrutiny of President Bola Tinubu's administration, as Nigerians continue to grapple with rising food prices, persistent insecurity and worsening economic hardship.
Behind the UN figure, 17 million people facing severe hunger are children going to bed without food, mothers unable to feed their babies, farmers driven from their ancestral lands by violence, and elderly people struggling to survive each passing day.
Warning of the consequences, Samba said: "When people lose access to food, the risks of displacement, exploitation and instability, increase. Yet resources are at their lowest at the time they are needed most."
The UN's latest warning therefore, serves as both a humanitarian alarm and a challenge to President Tinubu.
As the country moves towards the 2027 general elections, the growing hunger crisis is likely to become one of the key issues by which many Nigerians assess the President Tinubu administration's handling of the economy, security and welfare of the citizens across all regions of the country.

Atiku has finally selected a seasoned politician as his running mate.
Rotimi Amaechi is not a mere social media figure, but an experienced, grassroots politician with a proven capacity to unite and mobilize support for the ADC.
In his effort to foster synergy among party leadership, he paid a courtesy visit to Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal today.
Akwai buqatar mu zabi wanda ya san matsalarmu, mai kishinmu, kuma yake da kwarewa ta mulki, aikin gwamnati da kasuwanci.
Mu zabi Atiku Abubakar a 2027.
True leadership isn't just about the noise, it’s about the legacy.
When we talk about political figures in Nigeria, we often overlook the deep-rooted, systemic impact one man has had on our educational and economic landscape. It’s time to give credit where it’s due: Atiku Abubakar is one of the most underappreciated leaders of our time.
Beyond politics, look at the receipts:
1. A Legacy of Giving: He has quietly poured over $300 million into supporting health and education organizations across Nigeria.
2. Empowering the Next Generation: From a young student inspired by his own teachers to a visionary leader, he went on to found the American University of Nigeria in 2005, providing world-class education right at home through partnerships with institutions in Washington, D.C..
3. Global Recognition: His profound philanthropic efforts and commitment to public service earned him the prestigious Harris Wofford Global Citizen Award.
His journey from a modest background to global recognition is a testament to what dedicated leadership looks like. Nigeria thrives when we celebrate those who build infrastructure, educate our youth, and invest directly back into our communities.
Let’s look at the facts and appreciate the builders of our nation. 🦅🎓

This is H.E.@chubikie Rotimi Amaechi, the political heavyweight of the opposition in the South. Look at how people are congratulating him on his emergence as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate under the ADC. The message is clear: many believe this new political alignment has changed the 2027 race, and some are already saying @PeterObi political influence has been pushed aside.
