Chairman of the 2014 National Conference Convocation Committee, Senator Femi Okunrounmu, said on Saturday that more than 90 per cent of politicians in the country are guilty of false declaration of assets.

Okunrounmu stated this while interacting with newsmen on the sidelines of the 80th birthday celebration of the Founder of O’odua Peoples Congress, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, in Ikeja, Lagos.

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

According to him, it is good and part of the fight against corruption, saying the fight should be holistic.

“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 shouldn’t just target one or two people,” he said.

On the National Confab, Okunrounmu alleged that the 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.

“May be, 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 added.

He said the southern wing of the APC had always agitated for a national conference, but opposed to the 2014 confab “for political reasons”.

On the delay in cabinet formation by President Muhammadu Buhari, the former confab convocation committee chairman said there was no provision for the President to administer Nigeria without a cabinet.

He should name names.

It is not enough to just say it, he should do the needful by making public those he thinks, lied in a Government assets declaration form.

In English it is called Perjury, and in Law it is a Felony. A Felon, world wide is barred from holding any elective or public Office, unless given a Presidential Pardon.

Saraki, soon will be a Felon.

Oh God! thank you for the change you gave to us here in nigeria. Meanwhile in RaRaRa voice: masu gudu su gudu, idan kasan kayi sata ka gudu.

It is because all can't be persecuted that the scape goat was invented- punish one to make the rest fall in order.

Because most politicians are guilty of it, does not make it legitimate. if he has records about specific politicians, he should name them.

Everyone, including your parents are guilty of the same crime.

I reckon myself as one of the saints in Nigeria when it relates to stewardship in public service until Saraki's assets declaration saga where he was alleged to have left some assets undeclared.

I have rechecked my tax forms where I am supposed to declare others of my assets and liabilities apart from wages receivable from immediate employment. I then found out that in 1995 and 2003 either by omission or commission, I was guilty of the same offense Saraki committed hence I refrain from commenting on any thread that got to do with the Sarakigate to avoid being a hypocrite.

Most ke? All them joor

Na one by one law of the land will get them

its better to start from the head
