What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project demanded that the Independent National Electoral Commission account for over ₦126.46 billion in public funds allegedly diverted, lost, or mismanaged. These funds were appropriated for electoral operations, including the procurement of ballot boxes and materials. Separately, the Independent National Electoral Commission projected that the 2027 general elections would have more than 100 million registered voters.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The demand for financial accountability relates to findings of alleged unlawful expenditure and procurement violations documented by the Auditor-General of the Federation. The projected increase in the electorate requires a complete re-evaluation of the logistical and security requirements for the electoral system.
