Ekiti PDP tells APC —You can’t force governor to declare assets

                           

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) can’t force Governor Ayo Fayose to disclose his assets. The Ekiti APC had, on Tuesday, September, 8, 2015, dared Fayose to disclose his assets.

 The PDP however said that the APC lacks the moral justification to criticize Fayose for not making his assets public when many APC governors had failed to do so. This was contained in a statement released on Wednesday, September 9, by Ekiti PDP Publicity Secretary, Jackson Adebayo.

 It reads in part: “The declaration made by Buhari cannot be compared to that made by the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua which till date has been adjudged as a perfect declaration by any Nigerian President.” The Ekiti PDP also said that Buhari’s declaration “contained many loopholes which no sensible person should be proud of.” Buhari declared his assets publicly on September 3, and said that every governor and minister is compelled to follow suit. Fayose however criticized the president’s declaration saying that he is not as poor as he’s claiming to be.

President Buhari says governors, ministers must also declare assets

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that governors and ministers in the country must declare their assets because it’s a constitutional provision. Buhari and Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo declared their assets publicly on September 3, 2015.

 The President made the comment on Monday, September 7, during an official visit to Ghana. He said: “I recall that in 1975 when late Murtala Mohammed became the Head of State, we were lined up in the corridor – governors, ministers, members of the Supreme Military Council – and officials of Ministry of Justice were brought and every individual was made to declare his assets.” “So right now, all heads of state and government, governors, ministers, permanent secretaries will have to declare their assets because it is a constitutional requirement.” Buhari also said that he had declared his assets four times since 1975 when he was a governor.

Senator Shehu Sani voluntarily declare assets

       

Senator Shehu Sani representing Kaduna Central Senatorial Districk has followed the example of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo by declaring his assets, 24 hours after the two leaders took the bold step.

In a statement by Sani on Thursday, September 4, which was made available to newsmen, he has three bank accounts with a total of N22 million in them. He owns two residential houses in Kaduna, two houses under lease in Kaduna, two uncompleted office apartments in Kaduna, one residential house in Abuja, one family inherited house in Kurfi, Katsina State, and one family inherited house in Minna, Niger State. He also added that he owns several cars, and bought N5million worth of shares in 2007 but which crashed in 2008.

 According to him, declaration of assets is a moral challenge to all public office holders. The statement read, "In line with moral example set by President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo, and in conformity to the standard of transparent and exemplary leadership, and in submission to the public and popular demand for integrity test to all public office holders, in a new Nigeria on a filtration process for a politically cleaner and decent future, I have decided to voluntarily make this public declaration. "President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo public declaration of their assets is a moral challenge to all public holders. Their declaration challenges all men of conscience and docks all men who lay claim to self dignity and self worth. "Their public declaration hangs a chain of guilt on the neck of all public office holders.

 To refuse to publicly declare assets is to continue to carry the burden of a moral thorn of guilt in a nation whose generation of leaders for so long stands in the dock of ethical court. "There are no saints and angels in politics, but the citizenry deserve to know the moral truth behind the facade of uprightness. A clean broom is needed to clean a dirty space. I chose to publicly declare and be pelted than to walk with the stain of suspicion and mistrust splashed on all public office holders by a generation of curious citizenry." Sani is the first Senator and public office holder to publicly declare his assets after the surprise announcement of the President and Vice President's assets on Wednesday, September 4.
