The African Democratic Congress has rejected allegations from the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council that the opposition party owes salaries, describing the claims as politically motivated and demanding supporting evidence.
ADC spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi said the governing party should focus on public concerns about inflation, unemployment and insecurity rather than allegations against political rivals. He argued that the government’s record, rather than its criticism of the opposition, should form the basis of public debate ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a separate statement, the ADC criticized reports that seven luxury vehicles had been provided to APC youth leaders for political mobilization. The party described the reported expenditure as insensitive to Nigerians struggling with living costs and questioned the priorities reflected by such spending.
Neither the alleged salary arrears nor the reported cost and funding of the vehicles is independently substantiated in the supplied material. The APC’s response and documentary evidence would be necessary to determine the accuracy of the competing claims.
The exchanges underline the importance of transparent campaign financing and evidence-based scrutiny of allegations made by political parties.
