With barely 3 weeks to presidential inauguration, the Code of Conduct Bureau, (CCB), has said the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima and 28 incoming State governors must declare their assets before May 29.
Other officials, including Senators-elect and Reps-elect, are expected to declare their assets before June 5 when they would be sworn-in.
The CCB spokesperson, Veronica Kato, in Abuja, said that asset declaration was an integral part of the swearing-in ceremony, according to the law.
She disclosed that several elected officials had started picking their assets declaration forms at the CCB state offices nationwide and that they were expected to submit the filled copies to the bureau before the inauguration day.
The outgoing officials, including presidential aides, 28 state governors and their cabinet members, National Assembly and State Assembly members and local government chairmen will equally obtain the assets declaration forms from the CCB and submit the same, in line with the 1999 Constitution.
