ADC-PCC and MDPCO Demand Probe into Alleged Ministerial Bribes

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) and the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organization (MDPCO) have demanded an independent investigation into allegations that certain ministers in President Bola Tinubu's administration paid to secure their appointments. This allegation was made by Alwan Hassan, a spokesperson for the Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council, during a live television program.

The ADC-PCC expressed that if substantiated, this claim would severely undermine the integrity of ministerial appointments and the principles of public service. They challenged President Tinubu to clarify his awareness of the allegations, emphasizing that public office should not be treated as a commercial transaction.

The ADC-PCC has called for an immediate response from the President, further clarification from Alwan Hassan, and an independent investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). They also urged the National Assembly to conduct a transparent public inquiry into the matter.
