ADC demands funding details for APC youth leaders' ₦1 billion luxury SUVs

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) demands transparency on how seven Toyota Land Cruiser Prado SUVs—reportedly worth ₦1 billion—donated to APC youth leaders were financed. In a Monday statement, ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi contrasted the luxury vehicles with President Tinubu’s call for Nigerians to endure hardship. “Sacrifice is for ordinary Nigerians, while luxury is reserved for those working to keep the APC in power,” he said.

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu previously acknowledged donating the vehicles to support APC grassroots mobilization ahead of the 2027 elections. However, the actual cost and funding source remain unconfirmed. The ADC has not provided evidence that public funds were used.

Abdullahi questioned the priority: “Seven APC youth leaders receive luxury vehicles while millions of young Nigerians wait for promised jobs and economic relief. Is this the APC’s idea of youth empowerment?”

The ruling party has not publicly disclosed the purchase details or funding mechanism.

Will the APC disclose who paid for these vehicles, and does the distinction between party and public funds matter when the perception gap with struggling citizens is this wide?
