You are talking about funding. Soon Nigerians in the diaspora will also vote during elections. It is POssible. Nonsense and ingredients.

He would have been breaking the law if he was being funded by foreigners and a foreign government. The funds he is getting and is going to get is coming from NIGERIANS working and living in Diaspora. No law broken there. Except you want to tell me every kobo being spent by Tinubu and Atiku are all in Naira and there’s no foreign currency being spent which would be a blatant lie.

You cannot raise campaign money from foreign source. The law does not say if it's Arab, Indian, Chinese, European or Nigerian.

A polithiefcian who laments of opponent's failures rather than his own achievements is nothing but a phaggot and a... well... thief.
We should not have to choose the lesser of two evils, Nigeria needs an honest politician and a savior.
Chief of all agberos and thugs in Lagos should shut his dirty mouth and not mention Peter Obi.

They are not foreigners. Does it mean when they travel out their rights as Nigerians is relinquished? No. They can go anywhere to work and send back home if they so desire. Being in Diaspora does not relinquish them of their rights to participate in the electoral process of their home country.

What type of electoral law is that? The federal govt have been encouraging nigerians abroad to come home and invest their hard earn money but yet this same diaspora nigerians are not allowed to either vote or even support candidates of their choice.

I see how we read and make comments out of context. We just take every headlines and topics hook, line and sinker, and then make comments without constructively criticizing posts.

I wish Nairaland was a platform where Nigerians are united in one voice to solve problems, at least and not where some paid or those who have profited selfishly from a sect and coming here to blow without thinking the big picture!

Our comments and perceptions simply tells the rot in our society and the world at large. It will be unfair to throw away the opinions/comments of some well meaning Nigerians and people around the world. It’s unfortunate that we always magnify the bad more than the good. Nigerians that should seek the salvation of this nation if not for us but for generations to come, are always the ones destroying it first with their thinking and talking! Whilst one may be tempted to comment, it is critically imperative to comment circumspectly.

May God renew our minds!
From all of your grammar you didn't tell us who you are supporting?

I stand with who Nigerian youths stand with and I guess it is overwhelming enough to know who that is.

Oh shut up. Do you you honestly want to tell me every dime tinubu and atiku are spending on this is Nigerian naira? You honestly want to tell me they don’t spend dollars or whatever other currency there is on their current projects? If they do, were those notes made here or from outside? I repeat, Nigerians in Diaspora are not Foreigners. They are Nigerians with access to dollars just like Tinubu and Atiku have access to dollars. They all have funds from foreign sources if that is how you want to look at it.

Re: Tinubu Campaign Group Ask INEC To Disqualify Peter Obi Over Diaspora Funding by ifyakanu(m): 7:27pm On Sep 04, 2022
Section 85 of the Electoral Act is concerned with the holding of, or possession of funds abroad, by A POLITICAL PARTY, or the retention of such funds by a POLITICAL PARTY when remitted to THE POLITICAL PARTY from outside Nigeria. The punishments for infraction, statutorily provided in section 85(a) & (b) of the Electoral Act, 2022 are:

(a) forfeiture of the funds by the political party, and a fine of N5 million by the political party!

(b)payment of a fine of N1 million by "any OFFICIAL of the political party" who aids the political party to either hold funds outside Nigeria, or retain such funds belonging to the political party remitted to Nigeria, or imprisonment for a term of six months or both.

As a matter of fact, no offence is committed by a political party to which such "foreign funds" are remitted, unless that political party retains such funds, without transferring same to INEC, beyond 21 days from the date of receipt of the funds or asset. See s. 225(4) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

The Electoral Act has prescribed no sanctions whatsoever for the foreign contributors of such funds, or the person effectuating the remittance to the political party.

Now, Candidate Peter Obi is not an OFFICIAL of the Labour Party. The officials of a political party are those holding executive positions in the party, ie, members of its National, State, Local Government Executive committees, as well as members of the National, State and Local Govt Working committees. A candidate doesnt belong to any of these.

Nowhere in the Electoral Act is donation, or remittance, of funds from outside Nigeria to a CANDIDATE, or an individual, outlawed. And what an individual does with his own money is not Malami's business, provided that the individual, if he is a candidate for election, does not exceed the prescribed statutory limit on campaign spending.

Malami cannot read into the Electoral Act what is not there.
