The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) Sunday urged all 19 presidential candidates in the 2027 election to publish their assets and liabilities, including those of their spouses and unmarried children under 18, and disclose the legitimate sources of their significant wealth.
The candidates are President Bola Tinubu (APC), Atiku Abubakar (ADC), Peter Obi (NDC), Senator Sandy Onor (PDP), Omoyele Sowore (AAC), Donald Duke (PRP), Okwori Ada Elizabeth Frederick (NDP), Chukwu Anita Zugwai (YPP), Rufai Adekunle Omoaje (AA), and Adenuga Sunday (Boot Party).
 Others are Memeh Samuel (DLA), Nwanyanwu Daniel Danerechukwu (ZLP), Okereke Sunday Chibuzor (LP), Okereke Iken Esther (NRM), Abbas-Bin Aliyu (ADP), Dikwa Suleiman Mohammed (NNPP), Adebayo Adewole Ebenezer (SDP), Seyi Makinde (APM), and Yusuf Kabiru (APP).
In an open letter dated August 8, 2026, and signed by SERAP Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation also urged the candidates to publicly reject vote-buying and electoral bribery and direct their parties, campaign organisations, agents and supporters not to offer money, gifts or other inducements for votes.

SERAP said candidates seeking the presidency should “go beyond the bare legal minimum and voluntarily embrace higher standards of transparency, accountability and integrity.”
The organisation stated: “Candidates asking Nigerians to entrust them with enormous constitutional powers over public finances, natural resources, appointments and security institutions should be willing, before asking for their votes, to demonstrate that their personal financial affairs can withstand reasonable public scrutiny.”
SERAP said voluntary disclosure would enable voters to assess potential conflicts of interest and sources of wealth, strengthen confidence in the electoral process and provide a baseline for assessing future changes in assets..
