Former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s government of paying opposition leaders N50 million each to undermine Nigeria’s democratic process.
Atiku disclosed this at a national conference on strengthening democracy, organized by various civic organizations in Abuja yesterday.
He, however, cautioned that Nigeria’s democracy was at risk of collapse if urgent action wasn’t taken.
Atiku lamented the erosion of democratic values, criticizing the current National Assembly as a “rubber stamp” for the government and raising doubts about the credibility of Nigeria’s electoral umpire.
