APC Faces Backlash Over SUV Gifts to Youth Leaders
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has come under fire for distributing seven brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado SUVs to selected youth leaders, a move that has drawn criticism from opposition parties and the public. The APC National Youth Leader, Dayo Israel, shared a video on Sunday showcasing the vehicles, intended to aid election mobilization ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The reported cost of the SUVs, estimated at about ₦1 billion, has raised concerns about political spending during a time of economic hardship for many Nigerians. The African Democratic Congress (ADC), through its National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi, condemned the expenditure, questioning the ruling party's priorities and demanding clarity on the funding sources.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the ADC's presidential candidate for the 2027 elections, also called for transparency regarding the financing of the SUVs, emphasizing that Nigerians deserve answers about the use of public resources in political activities.
