Tinubu Accused of Ignoring N100 Trillion Fraud Evidence, Prioritizing Loans Instead
Former federal lawmaker Muhammad Kazaure has sparked controversy with allegations against President Bola Tinubu, claiming the president disregarded evidence of a N100 trillion ($113 billion) fraud during the Buhari administration. According to Kazaure, Tinubu personally requested the details of the investigation before his inauguration, but instead of acting on the evidence, his administration continues to seek loans.
Key Points:
- Allegations of Corruption: Kazaure alleges that Tinubu’s administration is perpetuating corruption by surrounding himself with individuals implicated in the alleged fraud.
- Presidential Response: The presidency has dismissed Kazaure’s claims as unfounded, particularly regarding stamp duty collections and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) funds.
- EFCC Investigation: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been directed to investigate allegations against government officials, but the credibility of Kazaure’s claims remains unclear.
- Mixed Reactions: Reactions to Kazaure’s allegations and Tinubu’s corruption ranking have been mixed, with some defending Tinubu and others criticizing his administration’s handling of corruption.
- Public Discontent: The situation has contributed to public discontent, with many questioning the administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
