Abubakar Atiku Demands Audit Over Coastal Highway Cost Scandal

Former Vice President Abubakar Atiku asserts vindication in the Coastal Highway Cost Scandal, urging an independent audit to investigate the inflated costs. Initially disputed by Minister David Umahi, the project's actual cost is admitted to be closer to N8 billion per kilometer, double the initial claim.

Atiku criticizes the lack of transparency and mismanagement in the project, questioning the financial model and sovereign guarantees. He emphasizes the need for due process and competitive bidding in major public projects in Nigeria.
