2023 Elections: No Political Party Can Accept Financial Support From Foreign Countries – INEC

Ahead of the 2023 general elections, political parties across the country have been issued a serious warning by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to collect donations from foreign countries. The Chairman of INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, stated this during an interview with Trust TV on Sunday.

He explained that parties cannot receive financial support from foreign countries to sponsor their electioneering activities. According to him, if such support is received, it is necessary to transfer these funds to the election commission. Mahmood explained that all the registered political parties must disclose where they got their campaign funds and follow the rules set for spending money during the election campaign.

He added that the individual financial support also must not exceed the INEC approval. “There is a certain amount of financial contribution that a person can give to the party in the election campaign,” he said. The INEC Chairman, however, urged political parties and their candidates to comply with all the campaign guidelines as contravening them will attract sanctions.

Stupid fulani INEC. Because  Nigerians in diaspora  talked about  assisting  Peter Obi  you are  coming up with  this  warning.  When Atiku and Tinubu  were brandishing  hard currency at the  primaries  you  applauded them.  Idiot. You  won't  talk  about the fake certificates and  forged documents  Tinubu and Atiku submitted to your  office.  Idiot.
