The database below has been collected from public information about congressional investigations, criminal convictions, censures by and expulsions from Congress, and more, see the sidebar. The list is updated as new information becomes available. An allegation of misconduct listed on this page does not imply guilt, unless it is followed by an official determiniation of guilt. Conversely, the absence of a determination of guilt does not imply innocence because congressional investigative bodies are political, not judicial.

NGScorecard

NGScorecard is an independent, open tracker of what Nigeria's leaders promised versus what they delivered — every president since 1999 and every governor, sitting and former, across all 36 states. Every rating is dated, sourced, and judged against a published, versioned methodology — not an algorithm. No government, party, or sponsor sees or approves a rating before publication, and corrections are logged, not quietly edited away. Free API, CC-BY dataset, AGPL source.
