Tambuwal: PDP Breaks Silence on Arrest of Atiku’s Strong Ally, Alleges APC Plot
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto state has criticized the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for what they believe is a politically motivated arrest of Atiku's strong ally, Tambuwal. The former governor of Sokoto state was detained by the EFCC over allegations of fraudulent cash withdrawals totaling N189 billion.
The PDP alleges that this arrest is part of a wider plan by the All Progressives Congress (APC) federal government to intimidate political opponents and weaken the growing opposition. The party accused the current administration of selective prosecution and ignoring genuine corruption cases involving ruling party members.
Additionally, there is reported panic within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the EFCC intensifies its actions against opposition coalition members aiming to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
