How Did Two Ex-IGPs Amass Millions in Less Than Three Years?
Two former Inspectors General of Police under President Buhari each paid about ₦50 million for APC nomination and expression of interest forms as they vied for governorship tickets in Yobe and Nasarawa States. Abubakar Adamu served from 2019 to 2021, and Usman Alkali Baba from 2021 to 2023. In under three years in office, they suddenly had enough wealth not only for form fees but for campaigns that can cost over ₦500 million. Meanwhile, millions of Nigerians faced soaring inflation, rising insecurity, collapsed businesses, and a struggling economy. What really happened to make public service a gateway to massive wealth? Nigeria cannot recover until citizens ask hard questions about how security chiefs become political heavyweights overnight.
