Nigeria INEC Land Gift Allegations

The Nigeria — People s Democratic Party has called on the Nigeria — Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to clarify allegations that Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, offered land and cash gifts to senior INEC officials. Reports indicate that Mohammed Kudu Haruna, a Supervising National Commissioner for the FCT, admitted receiving a land gift. The Nigeria — People s Democratic Party expressed concern that these actions could be part of a 'land-for-favour' scheme aimed at influencing institutions critical to Nigeria's electoral process. The party also urged Joash Amupitan, the National Chairman of the Nigeria — Independent National Electoral Commission, to address claims that he too may have benefited from these gifts. This controversy risks deepening public distrust in the Nigeria — Independent National Electoral Commission and the integrity of Nigeria's elections.
