Your claim on Service-Wide Vote baseless, APC tells Atiku



The All Progressives Congress has dismissed allegations by former Vice President and African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, that the 2026 Service-Wide Vote was earmarked to fund President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign.The ruling party described the allegation as unfounded, insisting that Atiku failed to provide evidence to support his claim.Recall that Atiku had in a statement on Monday accused Tinubu of using the 2026 federal budget to bury trillions of naira in unaccountable spending, pointing to a dramatic surge in the SWV that he says the government must now explain.Atiku said the SWV, a discretionary budget line, jumped from N638 billion in 2025 to N12.8 trillion this year, a nearly 1,918 per cent rise that he called one of the starkest examples of fiscal opacity in the country’s democratic era.Reacting in a statement issued on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC said Atiku’s allegation either reflected “mischief” or a lack of understanding of public finance.“The recent allegation that the 2026 budgetary Service-Wide Vote was set aside to fund President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign is either highly mischievous or shows disturbing ignorance of basic principles of public finance,” Morka said.He added that Atiku had “not advanced any facts to verify his sensational claim,” describing the allegation as “based purely on conjecture and calculated to inflame, mislead, and distract Nigerians from the visible and steady progress recorded under President Tinubu’s administration.”The APC explained that the Service-Wide Vote is a recognised budgetary mechanism used to meet government-wide obligations and unforeseen expenditures after the passage of the annual budget.Related NewsReps step down bill seeking ban on unbranded, unfortified cooking oilsDefamation trial: Court rejects uncertified document in Sowore’s defenceNDIC begins payment to depositors of 46 failed microfinance banks“A Service-Wide Vote is a long-established and widely used budgetary mechanism designed to cater for government-wide obligations and unforeseen expenditures that arise after the annual budget has been passed,” Morka said.He added, “A Service-Wide Vote is not a secret fund or an illegal slush account, as Atiku has baselessly and recklessly alleged.”The party also criticised the former vice president over his comments on the budget, accusing him of making allegations without evidence.“As a serial presidential contestant, Atiku has never once articulated a clear vision or coherent plan for Nigeria’s development but has remained a petty peddler of fake news and doomsday narratives.
