FG Allocates N135bn for Post-Election Lawsuits in 2026 Budget

The House of Representatives Order Paper for March 31, 2026, shows the Federal Government has set aside N135.22bn to cover election-related legal disputes. This provision is listed under Service-Wide Votes, a central fund for expenses not tied to a single ministry or agency. It typically covers unforeseen obligations and liabilities that arise after budget approval. The sizeable allocation suggests the government expects ongoing fiscal pressure from lawsuits, settlements, and administrative processes following the elections.
