The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) urges Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to investigate allegations that governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) diverted N800 billion linked to FAAC for political and campaign purposes. Multiple outlets report that SERAP specifically calls for the probe to be prompt, thorough, impartial, independent, transparent, and effective, and it frames the matter as a potential threat to electoral integrity and democratic legitimacy.
SERAP asks INEC to examine claims that FAAC funds were diverted in a way that effectively supported political campaigning, rather than lawful public purposes. The reports also indicate SERAP threatens legal action if the allegations are not properly investigated. Coverage emphasizes SERAP’s view that opaque political financing can serve as an entry point for corruption and may undermine public trust.
The allegations, as described by the outlets, concern the scale of N800 billion and its alleged use for political campaigns, and they prompt SERAP’s demand for an INEC-led investigation. The articles do not report any confirmed finding by INEC at the time of publication.
