National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Yunusa Tanko says Peter Obi is the only presidential candidate who openly accounts for campaign spending. Tanko made the remarks on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television’s “Day Break.” He said that during the campaign, Obi worked with activist Aisha Yesufu to engage an independent auditor to review campaign finances. Tanko described the process as providing an account of amounts spent and said the audited report was made available to the public. He added that he would like similar transparency from other major parties, specifically naming the APC and PDP. Tanko also framed Obi’s stance as consistent with transparency and accountability values that the campaign promoted throughout the election. The outlets reporting the statement present Tanko’s comments as an assessment of how different candidates handle disclosure of campaign expenditure, rather than as an independent verification by authorities.
