Tinubu Government Accused of Offering Massive Financial Incentives for Political Defections

The article exposes a purported scheme orchestrated by Bola Tinubu's government, offering significant financial incentives to entice opposition governors and lawmakers to join the APC. State governors defecting to APC are allegedly promised a total package of N250 billion, with senators receiving N1 billion and House of Representatives members N500 million.

Notable defections include Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah and Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri, who cited the desire to better serve their people and align with APC's vision. This development raises concerns about the ethics of political defections and the influence of financial inducements in Nigerian politics.
