The Chairman of The Code of conduct bureau Mr Sam Saba revealed yesterday that the CCB has commenced the verification of the personal assets of Governors and Ministers based on the assets declaration forms filled and presented them.
The CCB recently gave the Governors of the 36 states states and the Federal ministers a three month deadline to declare their personal assets, a directive which they had complied with. The CCB chairman maintained the determination of the board to recommend any of the officials found wanting for prosecution by the Code of conduct Tribunal.
Mr Saba revealed this during a visit by the founder of the Deeper Life bible church Pastor W.F Kumuyi whom he hailed ''the truth is that the quantum of money being taken out of Nigeria everyday is enormous. if not for the blessings of God this country would have been bankrupt a long time ago, that is why we thank God for the intervention of Men of God like Pastor Kumuyi''. When asked by journalists why CCB never scrutinised the personal assets of some pastors who allegedly own fleets of cars and private jets he responded ''our jurisdiction does not extend to pastors and other religious leaders''
