ATIKU WAS RIGHT: TINUBU’S $20BN LOAN REQUEST VALIDATES HIS WARNING — NOW EXPLAIN THE COASTAL HIGHWAY LINK
Former Vice President and African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has said President Bola Tinubu’s request for approval to borrow $20.52 billion and €1.045 billion vindicates the warning he gave Nigerians on October 12 about a loan plan of up to $20 billion.
Atiku said the President’s failure to identify the specific projects to be funded deepens serious concerns that the Lagos–Calabar Coastal (now inland) Highway, could be used to channel borrowed public money to Tinubu’s political campaigners and favoured contractors.
In a statement issued by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku said:
“On October 12, I warned Nigerians that President Tinubu was reportedly preparing to borrow up to $20 billion in connection with the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway. I demanded that he confirm or deny the plan and publish the accounts. He did neither. Today, he has asked the Senate to approve $20.52 billion and €1.045 billion in external loans. My warning has been vindicated.
“The President has listed broad sectors but has not provided Nigerians with a project by project account of what this enormous borrowing will fund. There are no clear project details, costs, locations or contractors for the public to scrutinise.
“That silence is especially troubling when the Coastal Highway has been rerouted inland. Nigerians have every right to ask whether the highway is being turned into a pipeline for borrowed money to reach Tinubu’s campaigners and favoured contractors. How can any President, barely 12 weeks before an election, ask lawmakers to saddle Nigerians with more than $20 billion and €1 billion in debt without identifying the projects and their costs? Is this a development plan for Nigerians or a campaign financing scheme dressed up as infrastructure? Tinubu must answer.”
“The National Assembly must not approve a single dollar until the President publishes every project, contract, cost, contractor, loan term and repayment obligation. No public money should be borrowed in the dark. No lawmaker should sign a blank cheque against Nigeria’s future.
“I warned Nigerians before this request reached the Senate. Now the burden is on Tinubu to prove that this borrowing will serve the country, not his political interests.”
Atiku called on lawmakers to make the proposal and its supporting documents public and subject them to rigorous scrutiny before any decision.

You can buy at least 100 pigs in Africa for the cost of flying 1 pig to Africa, but 40k people believe his uncle “flew a bunch of pigs to Africa”
There’s that vaunted Aryan IQ 😂
We need to see the game tape. Let’s start with a simple set of questions
1. Which african country ?
2. Which village?
3. Date of trip?
4. Certifications and approvals to bring foreign livestock
5. Certifications and approvals to train in animal husbandry
6. Photos of flight tickets, photos of this agricultural project
7. Media reports both domestic and international
You don’t just rock up to African villages like Willy Wonka.
They called me a liar cuz I said the crowd went crazy when Cristiano appeared. Now TURN UR VOLUME UP and notice how quiet they were when Messi appeared, then how crazy they went when Ronaldo showed up. Now watch them say it’s AI. Anyone who watched the ceremony knows! 😂😭
Somebody called Lamine Yamal a failure, and the first thing you did was start dragging the person’s children.
Meanwhile, you dedicated your entire page to calling Cristiano Ronaldo a failure and had no problem with it.
It’s not even hypocrisy anymore. It’s pure stupidity.

This crap may have flown in our mothers' generation. Not in ours, dear. We have social media now. We see you.
No time for your husband.
No time to dress sexy.
No time for sex.
Too tired. Mental load. Kids. Housework.
But yall have time to CHEAT?
Married women with 3 kids, 4 kids, getting caught cheating on ring camera. Office. Hotel. Boss's car. Co-worker. Gym.
Same woman who can't wear lingerie for her husband is in full glam for another man.
Full makeup. Hair laid. Ass out. On a Tuesday afternoon while your husband is at work paying your rent.
So housework didn't stop you.
Kids didn't stop you. Being tired didn't stop you?
Emotional labor and mental load didn’t stop you?
Y'all can make time for all these men but somehow can't make time for your husbands?
Yall are just bunch of liars.
You are lazy for YOUR husband. But energetic for another man.
You don't love your husband. You love his money. You love the house. You love the security. You never loved HIM.
That's why you punish him. No sex. No respect. No effort.
And when divorce comes, you finally exhale. Now you can be outside. Now you can be the whore you always wanted to be without hiding.
Don't call him a man child.
You were never a wife. You were a leech who got tired of pretending.
We see you now.
