APC Rejects Atiku Claim SWV Funds Tinubu Campaign
Nigeria’s All Progressives Congress has rejected Atiku Abubakar’s claim that the ₦12.8 trillion Service-Wide Vote in the 2026 budget could fund Tinubu’s 2027 re-election, insisting the SWV is a standard, government-wide budgeting mechanism for obligations and post-budget contingencies, not a secret fund. Atiku’s team has pushed for a full, itemized breakdown of the SWV, noting a surge from ₦638.34 billion in 2024 to ₦12.8 trillion in 2026 and pointing to unspecified or vaguely described allocations while APC touts reforms and achievements under the Renewed Hope agenda.

About All Progressives Congress
The All Progressives Congress (APC) is one of the two major contemporary political parties in Nigeria, along with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Founded on 6 February 2013 from a merger of Nigeria's three largest opposition parties, the party came to power following the victory of party candidate Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election. This marked the first time in Nigerian history that an opposition party unseated a governing party and power was transferred peacefully.
