Atiku raises the alarm over suspicious credit to his bank account

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed alarm over a suspicious credit into one of his private bank accounts. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, claimed his private banking details may have been compromised in a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu.

The statement disclosed that an unknown individual transferred money into Atiku's account under the narration, "Contribution Electioneering Campaign." Atiku emphasized that he neither solicited nor authorized the payment, and had no knowledge of the individual behind the unapproved transaction. He described the circumstances as deeply troubling, as the account was strictly private with unpublicized details.

The statement questioned how unknown persons obtained Atiku's confidential banking information. Atiku warned that the breach of confidential banking information could expose citizens to security threats, including kidnappers, terrorists, and fraudsters. He informed security agencies and Nigerians about the development, linking it to a series of suspicious activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Atiku urged Nigerians not to be distracted by attempts to smear his reputation as political activities intensify. He reaffirmed his commitment to providing credible leadership and practical solutions to Nigeria's challenges.
