The rights group is seeking an order of mandamus directing INEC to investigate the alleged diversion of N800 billion by APC governors for political and campaign purposes.
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the Federal High Court in Abuja over its alleged failure to investigate claims that governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) diverted N800billion in public funds for political and campaign purposes.
According to reports cited by SERAP, APC governors have allegedly been making monthly contributions from their Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) allocations into a dedicated campaign fund to support President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election bid.
In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1426/2026, filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja, SERAP is asking the court to compel INEC to investigate the allegations and enforce compliance with campaign finance provisions under the Electoral Act.
