SERAP Urges INEC To Probe Alleged Diversion Of N800Billion FAAC Funds By APC Governors For Tinubu Campaign | Sahara Reporters

In a letter dated May 16, 2026, and signed by SERAP Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation urged the Chairman of INEC, Professor Joash Amupitan, to carry out what it described as a thorough, transparent and independent probe into the allegations.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to launch an immediate investigation into allegations that governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) diverted about N800 billion from Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) funds for political and campaign purposes ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a letter dated May 16, 2026, and signed by SERAP Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation urged the Chairman of INEC, Professor Joash Amupitan, to carry out what it described as a thorough, transparent and independent probe into the allegations.

The letter accused the APC governors of allegedly making monthly deductions from FAAC allocations into a campaign fund reportedly linked to President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.

According to SERAP, the allegations pose a serious threat to electoral integrity, democratic governance and Nigerians’ constitutional right to freely participate in government.
