Following outcry over the scandalous cost of nomination forms of the two major political parties and the frenzy of politicians purchasing them the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have open investigation on the politicians’ source of the funds.
The Chairman of the EFCC Abdulrasheed Bawa made this known on Friday, when he featured on Channels Television’s current affairs programme, Politics Today.
He said they are investigating the source of money used by aspirants to purchase party nomination forms ahead of the 2023 elections.
His words, “When it comes to the issue of monitoring election funds as well as candidates’ funds, that has to do with the work of INEC in this regard but, of course, we are working hand in gloves with INEC and other related agencies in that field to ensure that we follow the money, we know the source, whether it is legitimate or illegitimate because that is what concerns us”.
