The Confederation of All Progressives Congress (APC) support group has accused prominent opposition leaders in Nigeria of hoarding their wealth while the country’s citizens suffer.
At a news conference in Abuja, the group’s director-general, Mohammed Kailani, specifically targeted Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Kailani criticized the opposition leaders, advising them to focus on addressing the challenges within their own political parties before commenting on national issues. He alleged that Peter Obi has around $1 trillion deposited in Fidelity Bank, while Atiku Abubakar has a similar amount stashed abroad, which they could have invested in Nigeria to alleviate poverty and create employment opportunities.
He accused the opposition leaders of engaging in wishful thinking politics following their electoral defeats, claiming that they now pretend to have the country’s best interests at heart.
Kailani called for support for President Bola Tinubu and urged the opposition leaders to stop distracting the president and allow him to focus on his duties.
