Former vice-president Atiku Abubakar urges President Bola Tinubu to investigate allegations that some ministers paid billions of naira to secure appointments. The calls are tied to claims made by an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, which Atiku and his supporters say should be examined to determine whether any wrongdoing occurred.
Across the coverage, the central focus is on demanding accountability over the alleged payments and clarification on who, if anyone, received money. Atiku challenges Tinubu to provide details about which ministers or appointees may be involved, and his campaign-affiliated statements link the issue to broader concerns raised about the administration’s management.
The outlets differ mainly in emphasis. Some frame the story as a direct presidential probe request, while others highlight Atiku’s demand for naming individuals or feature statements from an Atiku aide. All accounts present the allegations as unproven and centre the need for investigation rather than confirmed facts.
