P 1, 'Apart from the limit of 1,000,000 Naira that anyone can contribute to acandidate (?91(9)), there seem to be no limitations on the contributions that can be made. In particular, while it is an offence for political parties to receive funds from other countries (?88(b)), no such provision seems to exist for election candidates.'
