National Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of entrenched corruption, citing the latest findings from the International Monetary Fund on Nigeria’s public finances.
In a post on X on Sunday, Obi alleged that about ₦8.83 trillion in government expenditure undertaken in 2025 was not reflected in the national budget, describing the development as evidence of “grand corruption.”
“The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government.
“The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget.
“This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible,” he said.
