Most Politicians Guilty Of False Assets Declaration — Okurounmu by Nobody: 3:15am On Sep 27, 2015
Chairman of the 2014
National Conference
Convocation Committee
Senator Femi Okunrounmu, , said on Saturday that many Nigerian politicians were
guilty of false assets
declaration.


Okunrounmu stated this while interacting with newsmen on
the sidelines of the 80th birthday celebration of the
founder of the Oodu’a
Peoples Congress, Dr.
Frederick Fasehun, in Lagos.


He said that if anybody had done anything that was against the law or the constitution, the person should be called to account.


“It should cover all the
people who are guilty, not just target a few individuals. Ninety per cent of politicians
declare assets falsely, so the law should go after all the people that are guilty of such false declaration of assets, try them and bring them to justice. They should not just target one or two people,” he said.


Speaking about national
confab, Okunrounmu alleged that leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress had always opposed it.
“May be, the constitution is favourable to some parts of the North; many northern APC leaders have always
opposed a national confab.


One can understand why they oppose a confab, but those who know how the current constitution came to
being know that it was
fashioned by successive military rulers, mostly from
the North,” he alleged.


He said that the southern wing of the APC, led by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, had always agitated for a national conference, but were opposed to the 2014
confab “for political
reasons.”


On the delay in cabinet
formation by President
Muhammadu Buhari,
Okunrounmu stated that there was no provision for the president to administer
Nigeria without a cabinet.


He added, “Even though
there is no specification on the number of days within which he must send the names of ministers, any governance without ministers is a government of sole
administrator which is not provided for in the
constitution.”
