The All Progressives Congress (APC) has alerted the public to a fraudulent message circulating widely, falsely claiming that President Bola Tinubu is offering an “N85,000 empowerment” payment.
In a statement released by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC clarified that the message is a scam designed to deceive unsuspecting individuals into sharing their banking details. The message also includes a phone number, 07078309083, urging recipients to call to access the alleged funds.
“This is a scam, and we urge members of the public to disregard the message and refrain from calling the posted number or any numbers associated with the message,” Mr. Morka stated.
The APC has called on security agencies to investigate the source of the message and ensure that those behind the scheme are apprehended and prosecuted.
