Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has made explosive allegations against President Bola Tinubu’s administration, claiming that Nigeria’s national budgets for 2023, 2024, and 2025 were never implemented and that the funds were simply stolen.
Speaking in Hausa at a public outdoor event, the Sokoto South senator and former Governor of Sokoto State who also previously served as Speaker of the House of Representatives said the budgets existed only on paper.
He insisted there was no tangible evidence that a single naira was deployed as intended.
“The money was looted and pocketed,” he alleged, demanding accountability for the billions that, in his words, officials quietly helped themselves to.
Tambuwal didn’t stop at budget fraud. He launched a sweeping attack on the Tinubu administration, accusing it of stealing votes to capture power in the 2023 elections.
He painted a grim picture of life under the current government rising insecurity, deepening poverty, widespread hunger, and an unemployment crisis that shows no signs of easing.
Perhaps most provocatively, he warned that public funds earmarked for development projects could be quietly redirected to buy votes ahead of the 2027 general elections a warning that will likely resonate with Nigerians already frustrated by years of unmet promises.
