Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has asserted that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is now synonymous with fraud.
He echoed concerns raised by African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar regarding the ₦12.8 trillion earmarked for the Service Wide Vote, ₦8 billion allocated to churches and mosques, and the controversial ₦1.3 billion supposedly designated for a fake ‘Foreign Intervention Promotion Council’.
Frank argued that the recurring controversies over government spending continue to erode public confidence, with Nigerians increasingly losing faith in the integrity of those entrusted with public office.
Instead of strengthening accountability and ensuring that corrupt officials face justice, the administration allegedly fosters an environment where corrupt practices thrive.
He wrote, “The recent revelations and controversy surrounding the 2026 Federal Budget have further reinforced the widespread perception that this administration represents one of the most troubling governments in Nigeria’s recent history.”
“These developments appear to reinforce a pattern in which your administration has become associated with allegations of financial misconduct and questionable governance.”
“Rather than strengthening oversight and punishing wrongdoing, your administration is perceived as shielding individuals accused of corruption, thereby creating an environment where public officials believe they can misuse public funds without consequence.”
