Our law has no teeth in other to bite those that want to or turn deaf ear to the law... Imagine the president and counterparts doing things without looking at what the law says..... Our Constitution has turn to a book that had been forgotten in a book shelf. Read what the law says about funding a presidential campaign and how much must an aspirant have for campaign Sit back, relax and read....... Likewise,make comments Nigerian laws are unambiguous on campaign expenses and funding. The 1999 Constitution in Section 221 clearly states: “No association, other than a political party, shall canvass for votes for any candidate at any election or contribute to the funds of any political party or to the election expenses of any candidate at an election.” The Companies and Allied Matters Act also expressly forbids companies in Section 38 (2) from funding or donating gifts, property or money to any political party or association. Then the Electoral Act 2010, as amended, specifies in Section 91 (2) that “the maximum election expenses to be incurred by a candidate at a presidential election shall be N1 billion.” Imagine president good luck Ebele Jonathan counterparts raising 21billion Naira for his campaign..... Money that can be use in doing something better to the country.....
