Atiku Abubakar's Aide Questions APC on SUV Funding

Paul Ibe, the media aide to Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, publicly challenged the All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding the funding of seven brand-new Toyota Prado SUVs distributed to youth leaders for election mobilization. APC National Youth Leader Dayo Israel announced the presentation of these vehicles, thanking First Lady Oluremi Tinubu for her support.

Ibe demanded that the APC disclose the source of the funding, the identities of the beneficiaries, and whether public funds were being used for the party's campaign. He urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to investigate the funding arrangements to ensure compliance with campaign-finance laws.

Ibe emphasized that the Nigerian treasury should not be used as the APC’s campaign purse and asserted that deleting a post would not eliminate the demand for accountability.
