(NIGERIA) Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to be courageous enough to prosecute all those who breached the electoral act on election expenses.
Falana stated this in his reaction to the donation of N21.7billion to the Peoples Democratic Party campaign organization by some individual and organizations towards the 2015 general election.
The erudite lawyer decried the monetisation of the political process.
The PDP has come under pressure to unveil those who made donations to the party.
Falana, however, said the monetization of the electoral process was not limited to the ruling party.
According to him, the PDP, APC, APGA and LP have realised billions of naira from aspirants through the sales of expression of interest and nomination forms.
“Many aspirants contested and won the primary elections only to have the results annulled,” he noted.
