Provide evidence of APC’s N50m bribe to opposition parties — APGA dares Atiku

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has asked former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to provide details to support his claim that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) bribes opposition parties with N50m.

Atiku made the claim recently while speaking as a panellist at a national conference held in Abuja.

The former VP warned that Nigeria’s democracy would be at risk if the alleged practice continued.

Reacting to the allegation in a statement on Thursday, APGA’s Publicity Secretary, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, asked Atiku to tender concrete evidence to support his claim. Opara blasted the ex-VP for “spreading unfounded rumors that serve to heat up the polity.”

The statement reads, “APGA is compelled to respond to the baseless allegation made by former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, claiming that the ruling APC is buying over opposition parties with N50 million.

“We condemn this assertion in the strongest terms, as it is without any proof or substance. It is unfortunate that Atiku has resorted to spreading unfounded rumours, which only serve to heat up the polity and undermine the country’s democratic process.

“If indeed Atiku’s interest is to strengthen Nigeria’s democracy, we urge him to provide specific details of the opposition parties that have collected the said N50 million. It’s time for him to put up or shut up!”

“We, therefore, challenge Atiku to mention names, provide evidence, and substantiate his claims. Anything short of this is mere political grandstanding, which will not be taken seriously by Nigerians.”
