The Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has been vindicated by a recent United States Department of State report which raised concerns over fiscal transparency in Nigeria, according to his media office.
Paul Ibe, Atiku’s media aide, stated this in a post on his X platform on Thursday, citing the US report’s assessment of the Nigerian government’s budgetary and fiscal disclosure practices.
The report criticised the Federal Government for failing to provide timely and comprehensive information on its revenues and expenditures, while also raising concerns about discrepancies between approved budget figures and actual revenue and spending during implementation.
Atiku, a former Vice President, has repeatedly accused the administration of President Bola Tinubu of failing to meet acceptable standards of fiscal transparency, accountability and public disclosure.
