Socio-economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sued the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the Federal High Court in Abuja over failure to investigate the allegations that governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) diverted N800 billion for political and campaign purposes.

According to reports, APC governors are allegedly making monthly contributions from their Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) allocations to a dedicated campaign fund supporting President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.

In suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/1426/2026, SERAP is seeking an order of mandamus directing and compelling INEC to investigate allegations that APC governors diverted N800 billion for political and campaign purposes.

The organisation is seeking an order of mandamus directing and compelling INEC to request full disclosure from the governors and the APC regarding any alleged contributions to a dedicated campaign fund, including the names of donors and the lawful origin of the funds.

It is also seeking an order of mandamus directing and compelling INEC to promptly initiate a formal review and investigation into compliance with Section 91 of the Electoral Act by all political parties and candidates, particularly regarding the sources and scale of political or campaign financing in the current political cycle.

In the suit, SERAP is arguing that these allegations raise serious concerns about political finance transparency, electoral fairness, and the constitutional right of Nigerians to participate freely in their own government.
