APC Rejects Atiku Claim SWV Funds Tinubu Campaign

Atiku’s team has pushed for a full, itemized breakdown of the SWV, noting a surge from ₦638.34 billion in 2024 to ₦12.8 trillion in 2026 and pointing to unspecified or vaguely described allocations while APC touts reforms and achievements under the Renewed Hope agenda.
