The House of Representatives in Nigeria orders an investigation into the Director-General of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), Prof. Abubakar Sulaiman, following allegations that he participated in a Kwara governorship party primary while still in office. Multiple reports state that lawmakers adopt a motion of urgent public importance and direct the probe to determine whether his actions breached public service regulations and directives. The allegations relate to participation in a governorship primary connected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), with claims described in different outlets as involvement in the Kwara primary while holding his NILDS position. The House says the investigation will help assess whether required rules for public officials seeking elective offices—such as resigning from their appointments before pursuing political nominations—were violated. The outcome of the probe is pending, as the reports focus on the House’s decision to investigate and the basis for the motion rather than on any findings or disciplinary action.
