Overwhelmed by the new
anti-corruption agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari, the 36 state governors
have rushed to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to declare their assets.
The bureau has, however,
started investigation of the claims in the assets declaration forms of the
governors.
None of the governors has
chosen to make the list of assets public.
But the probe of the
declared assets might take some months to complete.
It was, however, learnt
last night that the CCB is expecting all the governors to close down their
foreign accounts.
An advisory has gone to
the governors and their deputies in line with the Fifth Schedule, Part 1 on
Code of Conduct for Public Officers.
According to findings by The Nation, all the 36 governors have declared and submitted their
assets forms.
The response was said to
be “unprecedented” by a source in the CCB despite the fact that the governors
have up to three months to do so.
