APC UK backs call for Sagay’s sack over failure to declare his asset

The All Progressive Congress (APC), United Kingdom chapter has backed calls for Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to sack the chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-Corruption (PACAC), Professor Itse Sagay for failure to declare his assets at the CCB in accordance with the law.

The APC UK chapter, which made its stand known on its official Twitter account, directly asked @PACAC , if asset declaration was limited to elected officials?
The party also requested why Prof. Sagay is yet to declare his assets.

Also contained in the APC UK tweet is a media report of a statement released by a pro-democracy group, National Committee of Yoruba Youths (NCYY), signed by its national president, Comrade Oladimeji Odeyemi and made available to journalists, stated that Sagay evaded that constitutional responsibility on him to declare his assets.

“The consequences of this illegality is for Professor Sagay to be sacked from office and be immediately prosecuted. “We, therefore, give the respected Acting President Yemi Osinbajo who is a Professor of Law and senior advocate to put a stop to this illegality within 48 hours. “We also call on the CCB to within 72 hours commence the prosecution of the PACAC chairman at its tribunal,” the group said.

The group further claimed that its investigation showed that tSagay’s circumvention of the law was known to the former board of the CCB headed by Mr Sam Saba and that the board deliberately covered up the act of omission only for the facts to become known now that the CCB has no board. “We are surprised and disappointed to find out that Sagay continues to go to equity with soiled hands. He is the one who is loudest about the anti-corruption fight of the government, yet he does not deem it fit to be transparent by declaring his assets as demanded by law.
