ATIKU BLOWS HOT AS TINUBU GOVT ALLEGEDLY ALLOCATES N22.15B TO BUILD, RENOVATE 106 PALACES NATIONWIDE

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration for allocating ₦22.15 billion in the 2026 budget to construct and renovate 106 royal palaces nationwide. He called the move a constitutional aberration and a potential mask for corruption. Recently, a Washington-based lobbying firm engaged by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says it has begun sharing documents relating to a long-running United States forfeiture case involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with officials of the Donald Trump administration, members of Congress and congressional staff. The firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C., disclosed that it was providing records from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) concerning allegations linked to a 1993 civil forfeiture proceeding involving funds connected to Tinubu. Three men in Nigeria have been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to offences linked to the kidnapping of dozens of pupils and teachers in the south-western state of Oyo. #atikuabubakar #tinubu #apc #adc #insecurity #politicalnews
