Former Nigerian VP Atiku Abubakar accuses President Bola Tinubu of conflict of interest due to his son's involvement in the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project. The project, awarded amid allegations of procurement law violations, is criticized for its massive cost, lack of competitive bidding, and business relationship between Tinubu and Gilbert Chagoury, the owner of Hitech, the contractor responsible for the highway.
