Former Education Minister Tahir Mamman Allegedly Gave ₦15 Million to APC Adamawa Executives for Last Christmas
In a surprising revelation, the Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State has confessed that the former Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, donated ₦15 million to party executives during last year’s Christmas period. The disclosure, which has sparked widespread debate, highlights the financial dealings within the party’s state leadership and raises questions about the purpose and transparency of such donations.
The Women Leader detailed that the ₦15 million was shared among APC executives in Adamawa to support party operations and activities during the festive season. Although the gesture was positioned as a goodwill donation, it has drawn scrutiny and criticism from various quarters, with some questioning whether it adhered to ethical and political funding standards.
Tahir Mamman, a prominent figure in the APC and former Minister of Education, has yet to publicly comment on the matter. Supporters argue that such contributions are routine in party politics, aimed at boosting morale and maintaining cohesion among party ranks. However, critics suggest this could set a precedent for questionable financial practices within the party.
The revelation has amplified ongoing discussions about political funding transparency and accountability in Nigeria. While political donations are common, concerns remain regarding the need for greater oversight to prevent potential misuse of funds or influence peddling. The APC leadership in Adamawa has not issued an official statement addressing these claims, leaving many observers eagerly awaiting further clarifications.
As public interest continues to grow, this incident underscores the importance of transparent financial practices and ethical conduct within political parties, particularly as the nation navigates its democratic journey.
