The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has sued the Independent National Electoral Commission over its alleged failure to investigate claims that governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress diverted N800 billion from Federation Account Allocation Committee allocations for political and campaign purposes.
SERAP, in a statement released on Sunday by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, said the suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1426/2026, was filed last week at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Citing media reports, the organisation said, “APC governors are allegedly making monthly contributions from their Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) allocations to a dedicated campaign fund to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign.”
It attached a Premium Times opinion article by columnist Festus Adedayo, published on May 17, 2026, as Exhibit A3 in support of its application.
The article referenced claims that about N800 billion allegedly set aside for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign was misappropriated.
