Ogun Politician Seeks EFCC Probe into Yayi's Vehicle Donations

Adekunle Shomorin, a prominent politician in Ogun State, submitted a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on 30 September 2026, requesting an investigation into the donation of 119 vehicles for the campaign of All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate Senator Solomon Adeola (Yayi). The petition follows Adeola's public acknowledgment on 28 September 2026 of contributions from 22 individuals and companies, which Shomorin claims may violate the N500 million donation limit set by the Electoral Act 2026.

He estimated the vehicles' value at approximately N728 million, with higher valuations possible. The petition also raises concerns about contributors identified by nicknames and the need for verification of their identities and addresses.

Shomorin's allegations include potential breaches of the Electoral Act and the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022, emphasizing the need for the EFCC to assess the legality of the donations and their compliance with electoral regulations.
