You can’t force governor to declare assets – Ekiti PDP tells APC

The Ekiti APC had, on Tuesday, September, 8, 2015, dared Fayose to disclose his assets.

Ayo Fayose.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) can’t force Governor Ayo Fayose to disclose his assets.

The PDP however said that the APC lacks the moral justification to criticize Fayose for not making his assets public when many APC governors had failed to do so.

This was contained in a statement released on Wednesday, September 9, by Ekiti PDP Publicity Secretary, Jackson Adebayo.

It reads in part:

“The declaration made by Buhari cannot be compared to that made by the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua which till date has been adjudged as a perfect declaration by any Nigerian President.”

The Ekiti PDP also said that Buhari’s declaration “contained many loopholes which no sensible person should be proud of.”

Buhari declared his assets publicly on September 3, and said that every governor and minister is compelled to follow suit.

Fayose however criticized the president’s declaration saying that he is not as poor as he’s claiming to be.
