ATIKU ABUBAKAR Raises Alarm Over Suspicious Credit to His Private Bank Account

The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, for the 2027 general election, ATIKU ABUBAKAR, has raised an alarm over what he calls a suspicious funds transfer into one of his private bank accounts.

ATIKU ABUBAKAR, who is Nigeria’s former Vice President, alleged that his confidential banking details may have been compromised, resulting in the suspicious credit on his bank account.

In a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, PHRANK SHAIBU, the ADC alleged that the funds transfer was made by an individual unknown to him, with the narration, “Contribution Electioneering Campaign.”

Without mentioning the specific bank account involved, or the amount credited to it, ATIKU maintained that neither himself nor his campaign team had solicited, authorised or is aware of the individual or entity behind the unauthorised payment.

The ADC chieftain further noted that the circumstances surrounding the transaction were deeply troubling, as the account was strictly private and its details were not publicly available.

He said the alleged access to ATIKU’s banking information raised broader concerns about the protection of the financial privacy of Nigerians.

ATIKU ABUBAKAR urged Nigerians not to be distracted by what he described as attempts to smear his reputation as political activities intensify ahead of the elections.
