Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has thrown a challenge at the Federal Government, daring it to investigate him over the alleged $16 billion power sector spending if it has any evidence.
Atiku, who spoke on Wednesday, accused the administration of trying to divert public attention from the hardships caused by fuel subsidy removal.
He insisted that the government’s focus on him was a smokescreen, urging Nigerians to demand accountability on how public funds are managed.
The former presidential candidate maintained that his record in public service remains transparent and open to scrutiny.
He called on the government to instead address pressing issues like inflation, unemployment, and insecurity.
Atiku’s remarks come amid growing criticism of the government’s handling of the economy and its perceived witch-hunting of opposition figures.
He challenged the government to publish the details of its own spending on power projects, saying Nigerians deserve to know the truth.
