Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar challenges President Bola Tinubu’s administration to investigate him and, if warranted, prosecute him over allegations connected to a controversial $16 billion power sector expenditure. Atiku says the administration should produce evidence linking him to wrongdoing, rather than letting the claims continue resurfacing years after he left office.
Both outlets report that Atiku frames his demand as a test of whether a genuine case exists. Daily Post Nigeria presents the challenge as “investigate me, produce evidence, prosecute,” while Vanguard Nigeria similarly says Tinubu should “bring your evidence.” The reporting reflects the same core dispute: allegations around the power spending are repeatedly raised, and Atiku argues that successive governments have not substantiated them with proof strong enough to justify prosecution.
The coverage does not provide new details of the underlying allegations or any response from the Tinubu administration, focusing instead on Atiku’s call for an evidence-based inquiry and potential legal action.
