DAILY LAW TIPS by Onyekachi Umah,Esq.(Tip 273)
IT IS AN OFFENCE TO GIVE GIFTS AND MONEY FOR ELECTION IN ANY PART
OF NIGERIA.

No person in any part of Nigeria is allowed to directly or
indirectly give gifts or monies to any group, community or person
to induce and procure such person or group to vote at any election.
A candidate is deemed to have committed an offence if gifts/money
was given with his knowledge and consent or that of his
aids/agents.
It is an offence of bribery and corruption punishable with fine of
not more than #500,000.00 or imprisonment for 12 months or
both.

My authorities are sections 124 and 158 of the Electoral Act,
2010.
