Atiku Abubakar Accuses President Tinubu of Paying Off Opposition Parties
In a shocking revelation, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections, has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of paying off opposition parties to silence them.
Speaking at a recent event, Atiku claimed that he had met with a leadership member of an opposition party, who confessed that President Tinubu’s government had been paying them N50 million each to keep quiet.
“I want to say it here publicly,” Atiku said. “I met with a political party leadership in the present opposition, and they told me flatly that this government gives them N50 million each.”
Atiku’s accusations are part of a broader critique of President Tinubu’s leadership style, which he believes is turning Nigeria into a private enterprise. Atiku fears that the country’s future is being mortgaged to the interests of President Tinubu and his associates.
“This is not the kind of leadership we need in Nigeria,” Atiku said. “We need a leadership that will unite the country, not divide it. We need a leadership that will prioritize the interests of the Nigerian people, not just the interests of a few individuals.”
Atiku’s allegations have sparked widespread outrage and concern among Nigerians, who are already reeling from the economic and security challenges facing the country.
The presidency has yet to respond to Atiku’s allegations, but the opposition party has called for an immediate investigation into the matter.
“These allegations are serious and deserve to be investigated,” said a spokesperson for the PDP. “We demand that the presidency comes clean on this matter and explains why they are paying off opposition parties.”
The controversy has also sparked a heated debate on social media, with many Nigerians calling for greater transparency and accountability from their leaders.
As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Atiku’s allegations have raised important questions about the integrity of Nigeria’s democratic institutions and the leadership style of President Tinubu.
