EFCC should probe these INEC officials after elections. But I doubt if they will since they declared Buhari winner


Don't mind the heading. I believe the budget is for their lawyers expenses and other stuffs associated with court cases because they are defendant in the case.

The headline is deceptive. Legally, INEC budget money to take care post-election tribunals and court cases. Putting Buhari's name to give an impression that INEC is supporting PMB is just irresponsible journalism..

I amvsurprised too. Sometimes Nairaland mods paint headlines as if they are part of the atikulated vehicles.

Are you one of the 70% illiterate. Before you label ppl what you're not sure about, you need to be sure you're not doing it wrongly either. You don't call people illiterate when you're not doing anything differently. Get that right.

Let me educate you a little because I can see that you need help. Atiku has made a lot of money from the proceeds of seized goods when he was in custom, he has also raked in some money from investors who came to establish their investments in Nigeria at the time he was the VP (Siemens, Itel to mention few), he has also been involved in various transactions that amount to money laundry, among which is the famous $40million saga that even a kindagarten pupil is aware of.
Atiku should have just jejely retired to enjoy the proceeds of his 'labour' but as the saying goes, "the rich never get satisfied" he wants to acquire power to continue to enrich himself and his clonies who are ready to buy the Nation's heritage assets such as the NNPC from him. His ambition for power has led to the digging up of his buried vices. Atiku, in his own interest, you just accept defeat instead of wasting more money to fight a lost battle. He is not greater than 15million votes of Buhari and the Presidency seat is not his birthright.

Go and read OBJ's book "My Watch" and come back if you still have same opinion. Atiku was a subject of corruption enquiry published in USA Senate which is why he could not go to USA for a longtime until he bought his way, as usual, got a temporary waiver, through a lobbyist company connected to President Trump

OddsIsland:
The Independent National Electoral Commission is expected to spend over N1.9bn on legal fees and related matters as aggrieved candidates challenge the outcomes of various elections in court.

Atiku, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, and others have already challenged the result of the elections in court.

The information is contained in INEC’s 2019 Election Project Plan which was obtained by The PUNCH.


The document reads in part, “N1, 796, 547, 500.00. Professional fees and expenses for external solicitors to be engaged by the commission to represent it at the tribunals and appeals; honorarium for legal officers that represent the commission at election petitions and appeals.

“Analysis of fees: Governorship petition at N4.5m X 20; senatorial petition at N3m X 45; House of Reps atN2.7m X105; state House of Assembly N1.350m X 244. Honorarium to in-house lawyers is seven per cent of fees payable to external solicitors.”


Of the sum, N6m was spent on pre-election cases which are disputes that arose from the conduct of party primaries.

The commission will also spend a separate N26.5m on monitoring the hearing of election petitions and appeals across the 36 states and the FCT.

The sum will cover duty tour allowance and transport costs for the monitors at the hearing of election petitions and appeals as well as the compilation and printing of reports of petitions and appeals.


The electoral umpire also budgeted a separate N99.5m for the compilation and production of updated electoral legal framework including the code of conduct for external lawyers and code of conduct for staff.

A separate N25m will be spent on the prosecution of electoral offenders.

Yakubu had revealed in January that the commission battled 1, 134 legal cases arising from election disputes in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Source : https://punchng.com/inec-budgets-n1-9bn-to-defend-buhari-others-mandate-in-court/

So INEC apparently set aside a budget for pre and post election court cases; how does that translate to mean that the money was set aside to defend buhari and therefore warrant such misleading headline - if not mischief or stupidity or both?
