The ruling All Progressive Congress party (APC) and the major opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are yet to submit their audited financial reports containing expenses for the 2019 general elections, as required by law.
The chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Yakubu Mahmood, made this known on Monday. Mr Mahmood also said only one political party has submitted its financial report. There are 91 registered political parties in Nigeria, according to INEC’s website.
He urged other political leaders to abide by the law.
The INEC chairman said this at a meeting with political parties on Monday, while reviewing the processes and procedures it used in 2019 general election in Abuja.
”It is important to remind us that as we review the 2019 General Elections in order to identify successes, challenges and the way forward, we should also ask ourselves the extent to which we have complied with the extant laws,” he said.
