Trashy news.goverrnors do not need to fear buhari to declare their assets.declaring their assest is a constitutional requirement.And in any case the same immunity that covers the president also covers the governors.And both of their tenures would expire the same time.so if a governor does not declare his assets now there is nothing PMB can do about it.

Funny, they declared it, but didn't make it public. And funny enough the OP is okay with this. A popular Nigerian daily published full documentation of a new PURE VIRGIN governor's assets, but got sued by the governor. No one is afraid of Post Me Badd(PMB), they are merely acting out their part which is meant to sway ppl like the OP.The APC is derailing quicker than a bullet. In 2017/2018 there will be large scale riots and pandemonium. The APC will be swept out of power by a angry mob and the members will be torn to shreds by disgruntled and angry Nigerians. Those who start a revolution are never the ones who complete it

SouthernBreeze:
Stupidity is when a president failed to declare his assets. Foolishness is when "some" governors are afraid and quickly want to declare theirs. Nigeria is a big joke

BLINDNESS is when you still av to defend the slowpoke. When did he declare it to the public? Abeg go baff

This is the first time we are experiencing full compliance by the governors because of the anti-corruption policy of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Gbammmmmmm

Buhari/Osibanjo have declared their assests to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) it is left for CCB to declare their assets publicly after verification of claims.
As for the declaration of assest to the public by the governors....i guess it is in the consitution for public officers to declare their assest to the masses.... i dont think it is the fear of PMB because they enjoy immunity which i think is killing this country. The only thing they were told and warned by PMB was that the days of impunity was over.

don't mind him, he's a f00l.

APC, thanks for the morning propaganda

y fear a man? when a single apple brought the monster (abacha) down..... they should rather fear God

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.

I think Buharists need to understand that all public officers since time immemorial (1999) are mandated to declare their assets before CCB upon assuming office and when leaving office.

Buhari that is yet to make his own public is the one that people will fear? This is laughable at best.

How many times will you be told that the CCB is restricted by law to declare people's assets public? Buhari/Osinbanjo are fraudulently keeping their assets rather than publicly declare it like Yar'adua and VP Jonathan.

Pa Chukwudi growing old without growing up!
What is propaganda about a constitutional requirement? You must be the only one with knowledge of immunity. You are a disgruntled mouthpiece of irrelevant issues.

Buhari declared His asset to d necessary authority, Those who will check and disclose the asset publicly, the governors are on dt same trend; WHY do u decide to show us how qick ur brain nids therapy. FISH HEAD, sorry Fish BRIAN, OLODO!!

This is totally false! All the Govs have declared their assets! Why do some people like to lie? One of the conditions after elections by CCB is that all position occupiers must declare their assets; else the run foul of the law. Get your fact and stop the lies!

“I think they were all responding to the spur of the moment on anti-graft war. We are happy that the governors have emulated the President and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.”

Responding to a question, the source said: “Our law forbids us from disclosing the assets of any public officer, but from what is in our custody, none of the 36 governors has less than N100million assets.

“Some of them are worth billions of naira in their declaration forms.”

So, even Ambode that became governor yesterday is worth at least 100 million naira!!

joseph1832:
Of course she is right, but ask yourself, when has our political elite have any regard for what the constitution say or did not say?

For the fact that they move to declare their asset is a step in the right direction because we didn't see or hear them do that for the past 16 years.

hmm..so true sir Joseph. And a very good observation. Only doubting if buhari would do a thing if one of them decides not to declare his assets.

Once it is verified a credible lawyer or press can request for the assets under the FOI bill

Well I don't think the governors are answerable to PMB. However, what I'll have PMB do is try and solve this power issue of a thing. Men! Its my worst nightmare in this country!.

As required by law, the declaration and submission of documents to the CCB have been made, but there still remains the aspect of verification which the Bureau will have to conduct to authenticate the submissions made to it.

"In the circumstances, it is only after this verification exercise, and not before, that the declaration can be said to have been made and validated; and only after this, will the details be released to the public.

"There is no question at all that the President and the Vice President are committed to public declaration of their assets within the 100 days that they pledged during the presidential campaign.

Now that said.... it is left for the public to approach the courts to demand the information as regard assets from CCB...besides the 100 days aint complete yet so take a chill pill bro.

lol @ ignoramus....concerning consitution information on public officers declaration check nigerian consitution chapter 6 part 1 section 149.

This is bias report.
Does it mean that Edo, Anambra, Kogi, Bayelsa and Ondo states governors just declared there assets ?
Because some of the them their tenure will so be over and the report sounds like it because of Mr. President that they did.

Fuuuccckk buhari and fuuuckkk the nation news paper .and fuuccckk any one that's offended

The writer is very wrong because from my point of view, his shallow knowledge prompted this.
Rivers State has declared his assets in the appropriate quarters.

midolian:
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 our correspondent, 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.
The constitution says: “The bureau shall have power to receive declaration by public officers made under paragraph 12 of part 1 of the Fifth Schedule to this Constitution.

“Subject to the provision of this Constitution, every public officer shall within three months after the coming into force of this Code of Conduct or immediately after taking office and thereafter (a) at the end of every four years; and (b) at the end of his term of office, submit to the Code of Conduct Bureau a written declaration of all his properties, assets and liabilities and those of his unmarried children under the age of eighteen years.”

A reliable source in the CCB said: “From our compilation so far, all the governors have declared their assets. This is the first time we are experiencing full compliance by the governors because of the anti-corruption policy of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“In spite of the fact that the law allows the governors to declare their assets within three months, they have all rushed to fulfil this constitutional obligation.

“I think they were all responding to the spur of the moment on anti-graft war. We are happy that the governors have emulated the President and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.”

Responding to a question, the source said: “Our law forbids us from disclosing the assets of any public officer, but from what is in our custody, none of the 36 governors has less than N100million assets.

“Some of them are worth billions of naira in their declaration forms.”

But the CCB has started verifying the assets of the governors to find out whether or not they were truthful in their assets declaration forms.

The top official of the CCB added: “We have started investigation of the claims of the governors to ascertain whether they are real or bogus. We will also try to find out if any of the governors padded his assets or not.

“The verification is going to be a painstaking exercise because the law is very strict on false declaration.

“It also requires huge overhead to move around the country to verify some of these assets. The only luck we have is that we have offices in most states of the federation.”

After the declaration, the constitution empowers the bureau to take the following steps.
They are: “Examine the declarations in accordance with the requirements of the Code of Conduct or any law.

“Retain custody of such declarations and make them available for inspection by any citizen of Nigeria on such terms and conditions as the National Assembly may prescribe.

“Ensure compliance with and, where appropriate, enforce the provisions of the Code of Conduct or any law relating thereto.

“Any statement in such declaration that is found to be false by any authority or person authorized in that behalf to verify it shall be deemed to be a breach of this code.

“Any property or assets acquired by a public officer after any declaration required under this constitution and which is not fairly attributable to income, gift, or loan approved by this code shall be deemed to have been acquired in breach of this code unless the contrary is proved.”

“Receive complaints about non-compliance with or breach of the provisions of the Code of Conduct or any law in relation thereto. Investigate the complaint and, where appropriate, refer such matters to the Code of Conduct Tribunal.”

Meanwhile, all the governors and their deputies are expected to close down their foreign bank accounts in compliance with the Fifth Schedule, Part 1 on Code of Conduct for Public Officers.

The CCB official said: “The closure of foreign bank accounts is mandatory for these governors, deputy governors, and many elected members of the legislature and public officers.

“In fact, if anyone is found still maintaining his or her foreign accounts, he or she will be arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal. Where such a public officer enjoys immunity, he or she will face trial after leaving office.”

The constitution says: “The President, Vice President, Governor, Deputy Governor, Ministers of the Government of the Federation and Commissioners of the Governments of the States, members of the National Assembly and the Houses of Assembly of the states and such other public officers or persons as the National Assembly may by law prescribe shall not maintain or operate a bank account in any country outside Nigeria.”
