ADC asks Tinubu to probe alleged payments for appointments

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has urged President Bola Tinubu to investigate allegations that some ministers pay billions of naira to secure appointments and later seek to recoup the money. Campaign spokesperson Alwan Hassan alleged during an Arise Television interview that ministers are among the most corrupt public officials, and such payments are not unique to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The ADC-PCC described the claim as serious, calling for a transparent investigation and demanding that Tinubu clarify his awareness of the allegation and the measures his administration plans to take. The council also urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and Independent Corrupt Practices Commission to investigate any credible evidence of financial inducements.
