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

The African Action Congress (AAC) of Oyo State has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to closely monitor and scrutinize the expenditure of state government funds ahead of the 2027 general elections. The party's request, made in a statement on Monday, aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of public funds.

AAC Chairman Kayode Babayomi emphasized that the party is not accusing the state government or any individual of any crime, but is concerned about the potential diversion of public funds for political or electioneering purposes. The AAC stressed the need for public funds to remain strictly for the benefit of the people of Oyo State and called for a close watch on how these resources are spent during the election period.
