Tinubu’s Campaign Council Filled with Corruption Suspects – ADC
The party questioned why former officials facing unresolved corruption allegations were included and asked the government to explain any clearances.
- On Saturday, the African Democratic Congress criticized President Bola Tinubu's 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, with National Publicity Secretary Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi describing it as a "rehabilitation centre for corruption suspects."
- The party specifically questioned the inclusion of former Humanitarian Affairs Minister Betta Edu and former Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund Chairman Ngozi Olejeme, citing Edu's suspension in January 2024 over an alleged N585 million transfer.
- Abdullahi challenged the Federal Government to disclose whether these corruption cases were resolved and by whom, stating it has become a familiar pattern for financial crime investigations to "quietly disappear."
- Defending Atiku Abubakar's proposal, the ADC advocated for a "targeted, capped, budgeted and independently audited subsidy intervention," arguing that a government with "monumental waste of resources" cannot reject support for struggling Nigerians.
- The 2027 election will serve as a referendum on the administration's performance, as the ADC insisted the campaign council cannot "campaign away" the economic hardship and endemic poverty created by current policies.
