Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has pledged to establish an independent team of experts to investigate the ₦33.75 billion cash transfer funds allegedly given to millions of Nigerian households. This comes in response to concerns raised by an audit report questioning whether the funds reached the intended beneficiaries.
Atiku described the audit concerns as a serious indictment of the current administration, which removed fuel subsidies and introduced other economic policies while supposedly providing interventions to help vulnerable Nigerians. He argued that the amount distributed, when shared among the stated number of beneficiaries, was insufficient (approximately ₦10,258 per household) and questioned the accountability surrounding the intervention.
