Nigeria: Declare Your Assets, Serap Tells Tinubu, Atiku, Obi, Other Presidential Candidates
[This Day] Abuja -- The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, has called on the 19 presidential candidates announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission to publicly declare their assets and liabilities and reject vote-buying ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on all 19 presidential candidates announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission to publicly declare their assets and liabilities, as well as those of their spouses and unmarried children below 18 years. This disclosure, which SERAP urges candidates to voluntarily embrace beyond the minimum legal requirements, aims to promote transparency, accountability, and integrity during the 2027 presidential election.
By doing so, voters can identify potential conflicts of interest and scrutinize significant sources of wealth, providing a baseline for monitoring changes in candidates' assets once they assume office.
