Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has given President Bola Tinubu seven days to order an independent investigation into the PFIPC scandal.
ABUJA, FCT — Atiku Abubakar has called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately direct an independent probe into the alleged PFIPC scandal. According to a statement from the former vice president, the seven-day ultimatum is aimed at addressing public concerns and ensuring transparency in the handling of the matter.
Atiku said failure to launch an independent investigation within the stated period could deepen public suspicion and raise more questions about the allegations surrounding the scandal. He stressed that Nigerians deserve clear answers and accountability from public officials.
According to the statement, the former presidential candidate said an open and credible investigation would help protect public trust in government institutions. He added that the issue should not be ignored because of its potential impact on public confidence in the administration.
The PFIPC controversy has continued to generate political reactions, with opposition figures and members of the public demanding more information about the allegations. The matter has also fuelled discussions about transparency, accountability and the need for independent oversight in governance.
The development means pressure may increase on the Federal Government to respond to the calls for an investigation. It also places the PFIPC issue at the centre of national political discussions as Nigerians await the next steps from the Presidency and other relevant authorities.
