Political Party Leaders Gain N50m Each from Government, Claims Atiku

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has alleged that the current administration is offering opposition party leaders ₦50 million each. He stated, “I met with a political party leadership in the present opposition, and they told me flatly that this government gives them ₦50 million each.”

Atiku expressed concerns about the state of Nigeria’s democracy, emphasizing the importance of strong political parties, especially opposition ones, in sustaining democratic governance. He warned that the nation is at risk of losing its democracy if current trends continue.
