Monitor Oyo govt’s spending ahead of 2027 elections, AAC urges EFCC

The African Action Congress (AAC) of Oyo State has formally petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to monitor and scrutinize the expenditure of Oyo State Government funds ahead of the 2027 general elections. The party's concern is centered on ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of public funds, warning against the diversion of resources for political or electioneering purposes.

AAC emphasizes that they are not accusing the state government or any individual of committing a crime, but rather demanding vigilance and accountability in the use of public resources as the electoral period approaches.
