The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has filed a lawsuit against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), arguing that INEC has failed to investigate allegations that governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) diverted about N800 billion from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC). SERAP’s suit seeks a court order compelling INEC to investigate the claims and address the alleged use of public funds for political and campaign purposes. The reports say SERAP is concerned that governors are allegedly making monthly contributions linked to campaign funding, and that this pattern supports the broader allegation of diversion of FAAC revenues. The two outlets describe the action as part of SERAP’s effort to compel electoral oversight in relation to the allegations. The case centers on whether INEC should investigate the reported diversion and take appropriate steps in response. The reports do not indicate any court ruling yet, and the allegations are presented as claims that SERAP is seeking to have investigated through the legal process.
