Sanwo-Olu, deputy submit asset declaration forms

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, on Saturday, submitted their asset declaration forms to the Code of Conduct Bureau.

This, they said, was in compliance with paragraph 11 part 1 of the 5th schedule of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that mandates political office holders to declare their assets on assumption and at the end of their term in office.

According to a statement by the Media Adviser to the Governor, Gboyega Akosile, the governor and his deputy have, by their action, satisfied section 185(1) of the same Constitution that makes it paramount for the political office holders to declare their Assets before they take oath of office.

It added, “The asset declaration was administered to the governor and his deputy by Prof S. F. Ogundare, board member representing South-West zone, and witnessed by Rt. Hon. Taofeek Olawale Abdulsalam, member and Mrs. O Popoola, Lagos State Director of the Code of Conduct Bureau.”
