Ex-Ekiti Governor Ayodele Fayose says the Accord Party spent at least ₦40 billion during Nigeria’s 15 August Osun State governorship election. Speaking on TVC’s “Politics Tonight,” he responds to claims made by Afrobeats singer Davido.
Fayose also alleges that more than ₦7.5 billion of that amount was distributed to wards before the election. The outlets report his statements as countering Davido’s allegations, which he links to the parties and spending around the Osun vote.
Across the reports, the core focus is the monetary figure Fayose cites—₦40bn or “over ₦40bn”—and his claim about pre-election ward distribution. However, none of the sources provide independently verified evidence or documentary details within the excerpts, and the reporting centers on the public allegations and political dispute rather than confirmed spending figures.
