Mr. Moses Atolagbe, State Director, Code of Conduct Bureau, Oyo State, has said that 90  per cent of political office holders in the last administration in the state have submitted their asset declaration forms.
Atolagbe disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan on Friday, while speaking on compliance with the CCB regulations.
“The constitution stipulates that declaration of assets should be done on assumption of office every four years and at the end of the tenure of office.
“For those going out, we have a sizable number of political office holders, who made their end of the tenure asset declaration; the former Governor, former Deputy Governor, Secretary to the State Governor, Chief of Staff and some Special Advisers have submitted their asset declaration forms, while others are turning in their own latest by June 3rd.
“The response to asset declaration for members of the last administration in Oyo State is ninety per cent; a sizable number of them did so before the middle of the month of May.”
Atolagbe also explained that the new administration in Oyo State had complied with the regulation of the CCB.
“It is mandatory for them to declare their assets before they begin to perform the functions of their office; the governor and his deputy have done that already.
“If anyone fails to comply with the provisions of the law such a person will be prosecuted; there are measures put in place at CCB.
“It is an organisation that ensures that people do what is right, we watch over the system to ensure that people do what is right and comply.
“Also, we enforce the code to ensure that people obey the do’s and don’ts of public office; we guard against divided loyalty, where personal interest conflict with official responsibility,” Atolagbe said.
He, however, noted that the next line of action was to investigate, to ascertain the veracity of the claims made on the asset declaration forms.
