Record that Igbokwe had been warned to desist from assaulting, insulting and attacking Igbo leaders if he has no cogent reason. Unfortunately, Igbokwe refuses to listen.”

The biggest news today in Nigeria is the allegation of false declaration of assets by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) against the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki. The alleged crime was committed in 2003 and consequently, the Code of Conduct Bureau has dragged Saraki before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). Saraki’s inability or refusal to appear on Friday the 18th of September 2015 before the tribunal led to a bench warrant (arrest) issued on him. However, upon his appearance, on Tuesday the 22nd of September 2015, Saraki was granted bail on self-recognition by the tribunal chairman, Mr Danladi Umar, after he pleaded not guilty to the 13 charges. The case has been adjourned till October 21, 22 and 23, 2015 for accelerated hearing.

As far as I am concerned, false declaration of assets is concrete corruption and anyone found guilty of this crime should be dealt with. Having pleaded “not guilty”, the onus is now on Senate President Bukola Saraki to prove and convince the tribunal and the public, that indeed he made no false declaration of assets in 2003 as an elected Governor of Kwara State. Many writers in Nigeria have written on this matter, especially those in support of Bukola Saraki and those against. I am not here to take sides, but to express my displeasure on the actions and activities of the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Joe Igbokwe.

Igbokwe who also parades himself as an activist, has thrown caution to the wind and wittingly usurped the functions of the National Publicity Secretary of APC, Mr. Lai Mohammed by issuing a press release (article) on behalf of the party and casting stones on the Senate President, even when the matter is before the Code of Conduct Tribunal. Igbokwe did not end there; he also in his outburst threw hard stones at the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremmadu.

Igbokwe wants a share of the action.

Yorubkwe knows where he is coming from and heading to. Cunning man die, cunning man bury am.
