SERAP Urges Code of Conduct Bureau to Investigate Senators Over Alleged Electoral and Tax Law Misconduct
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged the Code of Conduct Bureau to investigate members of the Nigerian Senate for their alleged involvement in removing provisions from electoral and tax laws without due process. The request, dated February 7, 2026, highlights concerns of conflict of interest, abuse of office, and failure to disclose interests.
SERAP accuses the lawmakers and executive branch officials of altering tax reform bills and electoral amendment bills to serve private political interests rather than public interests. The petition emphasizes violations of the Nigerian Constitution's Code of Conduct for public officials, including the duty to avoid conflicts of interest and uphold transparency.
The Bureau is called upon to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation to ensure accountability and adherence to legal and ethical standards.
