Atiku Accuses Tinubu Administration of Normalizing Scandal, Calls for Independent Probe

Atiku Abubakar argues that the latest scandal over the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council is not an isolated incident but the latest chapter in a defining pattern of the Tinubu administration, where scandals erupt regularly only to be met with highly publicized investigations that vanish into official silence. He identifies a corrosive double standard in accountability, where the government moves swiftly against ordinary citizens or expendable officials but slows investigations to a crawl when questions approach powerful, protected figures. This selective justice, he warns, erodes public trust gradually each time reports go unpublished and difficult questions are postponed, leaving citizens to fill the silence with speculation. The core indictment is that while millions endure crushing hardship from the government’s reforms, those managing the nation’s resources preside over an unprecedented wave of corruption, making the lack of transparency both cruel and indefensible.
