Atiku Abubakar Demands Cash Transfer Records from Tinubu

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called on President Bola Tinubu’s administration to present verifiable transaction records for the Federal Government’s conditional cash-transfer program, which the All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, claimed has provided ₦75,000 each to over 10 million Nigerians. Yilwatda made this assertion on September 26, 2026, during an APC National Executive Council retreat in Maiduguri, Borno State.

Atiku has raised concerns regarding how the government identified and contacted beneficiaries, especially in areas affected by insecurity, questioning whether payments were made physically or through financial institutions. He demands an auditable payment trail without exposing beneficiaries' private information.

Atiku emphasized his commitment to public accountability and affordability in governance, stating that he would prioritize the protection of life and the reduction of living costs if elected.
