Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has demanded that President Muhammadu Buhari and state governors disclose the security votes for their states in 2021.
SERAP in a statement issued on Sunday by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, called for measures to be put in place to prevent the misuse and embezzlement of public funds in the name of security votes.
The group noted that while the authorities may keep certain matters of operational secrets from the people in the name of national security, there is no constitutional or legal basis to hide basic information on public spending from the people.
