A campaign you can audit
The law now puts a ceiling on what a candidate may spend. This campaign shows its working.
The facts
The Electoral Act 2026 caps a House of Representatives candidate’s spending at ₦250 million. Spending since the notice of election on 13 February 2026 appears to count.
Source: PLAC factsheetSection 225(3) of the Constitution bars a party from holding funds outside Nigeria. Lawyers writing on the point say gifts to a candidate’s campaign team are outside that ban, and the Centre for Social Justice says the law is unclear. The campaign takes diaspora gifts only from Nigerian citizens and only on counsel’s written opinion.

His commitment
A dedicated naira campaign account. Every donor identified and receipted. Every naira entered in a ledger against the cap. Paid placements carry a “paid for by” line and creators disclose partnerships. No fake accounts or bought engagement. Nothing about a rival goes out without two independent sources and a lawyer’s read.
