The National Assembly leadership has been urged by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) to look into claims that parliamentarians pay up to ₦3 million to submit motions, bills, and petitions immediately.
Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas and Senate President Godswill Akpabio were urged by SERAP in a statement released on Sunday to “refer the allegations to anti-corruption agencies for thorough investigation and prosecution of anyone found culpable.”
Members of parliament were also urged by the group to “publicly name anyone that may be involved in the alleged bribery and ensure the recovery of any proceeds of the crime.”
SERAP also called for safety for Ibrahim Auro, who initially sounded the alert and is a member of the House of Representatives representing Jigawa (APC).
“The claims that lawmakers pay bribes to present motions, bills, and proposals at the National Assembly are a serious breach of the public trust and constitutional oath of office by lawmakers,” the organization stated in an open letter signed by SERAP deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare on August 16, 2025.
In order to introduce motions and measures at the National Assembly, lawmakers shouldn’t be required to pay bribes, according to SERAP. The operation of the National Assembly or the performance of legislative tasks should never be impacted by bribery. Nigerians’ democratic rights have been gravely weakened by these claims of quid pro quo for legislation.
SERAP claims that the claims that parliamentarians are offering bribes of up to N3 million in exchange for submitting bills and motions are a disgrace to the legislative and legislative authority granted by section 4 of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended].

The open letter said, in part, “We would appreciate it if the suggested actions were completed within seven days of this letter’s publication or receipt. In order to force you and the National Assembly to abide by our requests in the public interest, SERAP will take necessary legal action if we don’t hear back from you by then.
“These accusations have revealed the misuse of their trusted positions by lawmakers to deny Nigerians their democratic rights.”
“Public trust in the National Assembly’s leadership’s capacity to maintain accountability in the exercise of lawmakers’ constitutional and legislative duties would be enhanced by referring the allegations to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) for investigation and prosecution.”
“The leadership of the National Assembly can demonstrate to Nigerians that the legislature is a legitimate and responsible watchdog that represents and safeguards the public interest and can hold itself accountable in cases of corruption, including bribery, by demonstrating strong and effective leadership in this matter.”
In addition, the accusations constitute grave violations of Nigeria’s anticorruption laws, the country’s Constitution, and its international commitments, such as the UN Convention against Corruption, to which Nigeria is a party.
Since Nigeria is a state party to the UN Convention against Corruption, Ibrahim Auyo is protected as a whistleblower under article 33. Ibrahim Auyo is considered a whistleblower due to his disclosures in the public interest regarding alleged bribes to introduce bills and motions at the National Assembly.
“The National Assembly’s ongoing accusations of corruption and the pervasive culture of impunity for offenders are of concern to SERP.”
“Improving accountability and transparency in the National Assembly and fostering trust in democratic institutions would be achieved by ensuring the investigation of claims that lawmakers spend between ₦1 million and ₦3 million to present bills, motions, and petitions, as well as by prosecuting suspected offenders.”
According to Section 15(5) of the Nigerian Constitution, “SERAP observes that all corrupt practices and abuses of power must be eradicated by public institutions, including the National Assembly.”
Under the United Nations Convention against Corruption, Nigeria has also formally committed to preventing and combating corruption, including bribery. All of these promises should be kept and honored.
According to Ibrahim Auyo, the National Assembly’s motion and bill-presenting procedure is too costly. He claims that since his election in 2015, no one has presented him with a measure to approve. Additionally, the bills and petitions have been paid for.
It costs N3 million, N2 million, or N1 million to present, according to Ibrahim Auyo. It is also necessary to lobby all 360 members of the House to support the bill after it has been presented. SERAP is worried that the Senate may be the scene of similar unreported claims of “bribes for bills.”
