The demand was made by the opposition party via Akin Osuntokun, the Director General of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council, at a media briefing in Abuja, on Thursday, July 13, 2023.
Osuntokun argued that Nigerians deserved to know the details of INEC expenditure of budgeted disbursements for the prosecution of the 2023 general election, which he described as “the worst election conducted in recent memory.”
He said, “We also demand unequivocally, the immediate dismissal from office and prosecution of Prof. Mahmud Yakubu, and the commencement of a forensic financial investigation, into the expenditure of budgeted disbursements and Donors’ funds received by INEC…not the least of which is the ₦300 billion appropriated from the National purse, as well as other funds and materials from international donor agencies.”
