President Bola Tinubu has dismissed opposition critics as "noise-makers" during a meeting with Renewed Hope Ambassadors at the State House. Mocking the African Democratic Congress (ADC) convention where Atiku Abubakar and Rauf Aregbesola slammed his economic policies, Tinubu hit back at Atiku's past privatisation failures, citing stalled Delta and Ajaokuta steel plants. He quipped: "I took over leadership from myself; Buhari is me, he was my partner." He vowed to sustain infrastructure and welfare reforms.
