Reports have emerged revealing that Members of Parliament (MPs) are accepting bribes to pass bills and protect suspects. The allegations include claims that MPs receive payments, with one report citing bribes amounting to N3 million for bills and motions at the National Assembly. In response to these revelations, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to investigate the matter. Additionally, sources indicate that MPs are being evaluated based on performance metrics such as monthly fundraising targets and social media reach, suggesting a structured approach to their activities within the legislature.
