Atiku Abubakar accuses Bola Tinubu of favoritism in contract awards, alleging conflicts of interest. Tinubu's son's affiliations with contractors raise transparency concerns. Atiku urges prioritization of public welfare over personal interests in governance
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has unleashed a barrage of criticisms against President Bola Tinubu, accusing him of placing his interests above the welfare of the Nigerian populace.
Atiku's remarks stem from allegations regarding the awarding of contracts, particularly the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project, where Tinubu's son is purportedly affiliated with companies tied to the contractors.
Atiku asserted that such affiliations constitute a conflict of interest, tarnishing the transparency and integrity of the procurement process. He lamented the rush in approving the project, highlighting apparent breaches of procurement laws and environmental regulations.
Atiku cautioned that these actions undermine the nation's credibility and deter foreign investments crucial for economic growth. In a scathing rebuke, Atiku urged Tinubu to prioritize national interests and ethical governance over personal gains, warning of the dire consequences of neglecting public welfare.
