Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has pledged to establish an independent team of experts to investigate an alleged ₦33.75 billion cash transfer reportedly made to millions of vulnerable Nigerian households. According to Ripples Nigeria, Atiku's position follows concerns raised in an audit report questioning whether the funds reached their intended beneficiaries. The promised probe aims to verify the disbursement and address accountability concerns surrounding the government's cash transfer programme.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on President Bola Tinubu to order an investigation into the alleged diversion of over ₦78.8 billion in public funds. According to SERAP, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, the National Cash Transfer Office, and the National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Office should urgently account for funds reportedly diverted, unaccounted for, or irregularly spent under Nigeria's cash transfer programme.

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has called on Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate and prosecute officials over the alleged diversion of N33.75 billion meant for cash transfers to poor and vulnerable Nigerians. According to The Tide, Falana made the call in a statement issued Sunday, urging the anti-graft agency to collaborate with the Auditor-General for the Federation in probing the missing funds.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) criticized Bola Tinubu's administration for what it termed "grave insensitivity" following comments made by Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, who reportedly stated he does not perceive the hunger and hardship expressed by Nigerians. The ADC urged political figures Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi to remain vigilant in protecting the electoral process.

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, has called for President Bola Tinubu's resignation, alleging that his administration is involved in "grand corruption." Obi referenced a recent International Monetary Fund consultation report that claims there has been N8.83 trillion in unbudgeted expenditures under the current government. He made these statements in a document titled "Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat."

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration for being out of touch with the everyday challenges faced by Nigerians. The party emphasized that infrastructure improvements, such as roads, do not address the immediate needs of the populace, highlighting a disconnect between the government and ordinary citizens, according to Naija News.
