PRP to Atiku: Present your proof on alleged Tinubu’s largesse to opposition leaders

By Tunde Opalana
The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has called on former vice president, Atiku Abubakar to back up his alleged financial largesse by President Bola Tinubu to leaders of opposition parties in the country, with concrete proof.
The party expresses its astonishment and deep concern regarding the recent statements made the former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Comrade Muhammed Ishaq, National Publicity Secretary of PRP on Friday said such serious allegations against the leadership of opposition political parties, particularly the claim that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is allegedly compensating opposition leaders with N50 million each to undermine Nigeria’s democratic process, demand closer scrutiny.
Distancing the party from such a blanket allegation, Ishaq in a statement said the PRP firmly rejects Alhaji Atiku’s insinuations.

He said “as a party that is committed to advocating for a corruption-free political environment, we call for a thorough investigation into these allegations, including the disclosure of any party leaders who may have accepted N50 million monthly from President Tinubu and the APC government.
“We categorically affirm that the PRP has not engaged in, is not engaged in, and will not engage in the bribery and corruption that have long plagued our nation’s governance.
“We challenge anyone, including the APC-led government and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to provide substantiating evidence to the contrary.
“Our unwavering commitment to integrity reflects our dedication to transparency and accountability in all dealings.”
The PRP blamed the systemic failure of governance on the 26 years of mismanagement of national resources and a large scale corruption by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the leading opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“The political landscape in Nigeria, dominated by the two major right-wing parties, the PDP and the APC, has long been characterized by procedural similarities that have perpetuated systemic corruption, unaccountable governance, and widespread hardship for the Nigerian populace. For the past 26 years, both parties have contributed to the erosion of integrity in our political systems,” he said
The party urged Atiku to reflect on his own political history before casting accusations against others.
“The PRP remains resolute in our mission to advocate for the true redemption of Nigeria, one that is liberated from the chains of corruption, deceit, and hypocrisy,” added Ishaq.
