Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) asks Nigeria’s 19 presidential candidates for the 2027 election to publish details of their assets and liabilities. SERAP also calls for disclosure of spouses’ assets and, where applicable, those of unmarried children under 18, along with the legitimate sources of significant assets.

The outlets report SERAP’s request in similar terms, naming candidates including Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi among those affected. Vanguard adds that SERAP specifically urges candidates to reject vote-buying as part of the transparency and accountability push. Across reports, the demand is tied to the period before the 2027 presidential election, and SERAP frames the disclosures as necessary for public scrutiny and credibility.
