Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has publicly challenged former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over claims that Nigeria’s land borders are closed. Tunji-Ojo denied the assertion, stating that the borders remain open and functional. The dispute comes amid heightened political tensions ahead of upcoming elections. Atiku, a prominent opposition leader, had previously accused the government of restricting movement across the country’s borders. Tunji-Ojo emphasized that the government has not implemented such measures and that border crossings continue as usual. The disagreement highlights ongoing debates over security and economic policies. Analysts suggest the controversy could influence public perception ahead of the polls.
