The African Democratic Congress has called for an inquiry into the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Dino Melaye, addressing ADC members, alleged that Bola Ahmed Tinubu spent over N26 trillion on Service-Wide Votes in three years without National Assembly oversight, raising concerns about financial recklessness. Separately, the African Democratic Congress asked Bola Ahmed Tinubu to explain a $12.4 billion gap in Nigeria’s external accounts, which was identified in a World Bank report. Furthermore, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, a candidate for the African Democratic Congress, filed a suit to disqualify Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress.
