ADC-PCC urges Tinubu to investigate ministerial payment claims

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has called on President Bola Tinubu to investigate allegations made by Alwan Hassan, spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council. Hassan claimed during an interview on Arise Television that some ministers pay billions of naira to secure their appointments and later attempt to recover these funds.

The ADC-PCC, represented by its Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, emphasized the need for a transparent investigation into these serious allegations, which raise concerns about the integrity of ministerial appointments. The council urged Tinubu to clarify his awareness of the situation and the steps his administration would take to address it.

They also challenged Hassan to provide evidence, including the names of involved ministers and the amounts allegedly paid. The ADC-PCC expressed that such practices, if true, would undermine public trust and accountability in government, especially during a time of economic hardship for Nigerians.
