2019 Election: EFCC To Track Politicians’ Funding Sources

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said it would track politicians’ sources of election campaign funding in the 2019 general elections.

This was made known by the acting EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, during a press briefing at the anti-agency’s head office in Abuja on Wednesday.

“Our people have all to gain in this process of disinfecting the electoral process by monitoring the financing of elections because it will help to improve good governance when good candidates are elected – not money bags,” said Magu.

He identified progresses made so far by the EFCC to include recoveries of monies stolen from military budgets, corruption in the judiciary, amongst others.

According to Magu, the commission is currently collaborating with the Federal Inland Revenue (FIRS) and Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) to investigate and recover funds and properties within the provisions of the laws.
