Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned all the political parties in the country not to collect any donations from foreign countries.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, stated this during an interview with Trust TV on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He explained that parties cannot receive financial support from foreign countries to sponsor their electioneering activities.<\/p>\n

According to him, if such support is received, it is necessary to transfer these funds to the election commission.<\/p>\n

Mahmood explained that all the registered political parties must disclose where they got their campaign funds and follow the rules set for spending money during the election campaign.<\/p>\n

He added that the individual financial support also must not exceed the INEC approval.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a certain amount of financial contribution that a person can give to the party in the election campaign,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The INEC Chairman, however, urged political parties and their candidates to comply with all the campaign guidelines as contravening them will attract sanctions.<\/p>\n
