Rice distribution not governance, Nigerians aren't beggars - Atiku slams Tinubu, First Lady

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar condemned the distribution of food in Northern Nigeria, calling it a weapon of poverty. He criticized First Lady Oluremi Tinubu for launching the distribution of 100 trucks of rice and 1.2 billion naira in palliatives, labeling it a calculated political performance. Atiku emphasized that Nigerians are not beggars and need sustainable food security policies rather than food distributions for electoral purposes.
