EFCC: Due to their lack of financial resources, some politicians, including lost the 2023 general elections.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said some politicians lost the 2023 general elections because they didn’t have money to share.
EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, said this during a recent virtual programme. Recall that due to the Naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), there was severe scarcity of Naira notes in circulation during the elections. According to DailyTrust, he said: “The violence during elections was caused by the unavailability of cash which was the CBN’s naira redesign policy because politicians could not buy votes. Some politicians lost elections in their strongholds which could not have happened because they didn’t have the cash to share.”
