20. Is there a limit on the amount a candidate can contribute to their own election campaign?

"No individual or other entity shall donate to a candidate more than N50,000,000". Section 88 (8), Electoral Act, 2022.

Bear in mind that in the current Nigerian legislation, the role of candidates is misleading. Whether candidates can receive donations directly from individuals, themselves and political entities or that donations must always be channeled to political parties is unclear. Notably, there seems to be no limitation on the contributions that can be made, and there is no such provision to check on candidates.
