Atiku Abubakar raises alarm over suspicious credit to his bank account
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, has expressed concern over a suspicious credit to one of his private bank accounts. In a statement released on Friday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku stated that an unknown individual made a transfer with the narration "Contribution Electioneering Campaign." He clarified that neither he nor his campaign solicited, authorized, or had any knowledge of the individual or entity behind the payment. Atiku highlighted that the account is strictly private and its details are not publicly available, questioning how unknown persons obtained his confidential banking information. He suggested that such information might have been obtained through individuals with privileged access, raising broader concerns about the protection of Nigerians' financial privacy. Atiku warned that a breach of confidential banking information could expose citizens to security threats from criminals. He notified the Nigerian public and security agencies about this incident, describing it as one of several suspicious activities leading up to the 2027 general elections. Atiku urged Nigerians not to be distracted by what he termed attempts to smear his reputation as political activities intensify, reaffirming his commitment to providing credible leadership and solutions to Nigeria's challenges.
