Nigeria: Atiku to Tinubu - You Must Open NNPDl Books, Tell Us Who's Financing Your Campaign

The opposition candidate seeks transparency on N11.2 trillion in NNPCL receivables and funding sources for the president's re-election campaign.

  • On Sunday, African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar demanded a full account of the ₦11.2 trillion recorded by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited in its 2025 accounts.
  • Atiku highlighted that NNPCL recorded ₦11.2 trillion in receivables for 2025, dwarfing the approximately ₦3.1 trillion allocated to the Ministry of Defence—a gap he called a 'damning measure of this administration's priorities.'
  • Concerns extend to government contractors and President Bola Tinubu's re-election effort; Tantita holds a pipeline security contract while The Chagourys' company received the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway contract without open public tender.
  • Director of Strategic Communication Phrank Shaibu stated the administration must disclose what it is 'owed by the Federation for advances and costs that include protecting Nigeria's oil and gas assets.'
  • Atiku criticized Tinubu's 'tone-deaf' remarks following his four-week European vacation, asserting that the government must account for every naira while Nigerians struggle with food, electricity, and safety.
