Atiku Abubakar Questions APC's N150m SUV Distribution

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the ADC, criticized the reported distribution of luxury sports utility vehicles (SUVs) valued at over N150 million each to youth leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a statement released on Monday by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku demanded clarity from the Presidency regarding the funding source for these vehicles.

He questioned whether public resources were used, given the economic challenges Nigerians face, including rising living costs and insecurity. Atiku pointed out that the APC National Youth Leader claimed the vehicles were donated by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, and he insisted that Nigerians deserve transparency about the funding.

He expressed that such lavish spending is a stark contrast to the struggles of ordinary citizens. Atiku also linked this distribution to previous luxury vehicle gifts to APC women leaders and raised concerns about the government's spending priorities amid ongoing security issues.
