Yinka Odumakin, spokesman to Mr. Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), has called on the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), to compel ThisDay publisher Nduka Obaigbena to justify his wealth, or forfeit it.

In a petition dated, Thursday, March 24, 2011, Mr. Odumakin pointed out that Mr. Obaigbena has been associated with past and present government officials since the 1990’s and is “a man of great but unexplained wealth.”

He therefore called on the Commission to take advantage of the provisions of Section 44 of the ICPC Act 2000 which is designed to combat corruption and promote good governance which criminalises unexplained or illicit wealth on the part of any associate of a past or present government official.

Drawing on Section 44(1)(b) of the ICPC Act, he said Mr. Obaigbena should be required to provide a statement in writing on oath or affirmation to identify, among others, all of the properties he owns in Nigeria or outside her borders, as well as all his sources of income.

“Significantly, section 44(2) of the Act provides that should you have reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Obaigbena owns, possesses or controls any interest in any property which is excessive, having regard to his past emoluments and legitimate earnings and all other relevant circumstances, to require him by a written direction to provide a statement on oath or affirmation explaining how he was able to own, possess or control such excess,” the petition says.

Obj is not the press. Even more pertinent, is the calibre of pressman that Obaigbena is, one who could bring the likes of George Bush and Tony Blair into the country.

So is power and influence. . . And so is access to "hidden" information.

A Taste of things to come. Why Nduka? Why now? Cos his daily published an unfavorable poll result abi? A leopard truly never changes its spots. Is this how we r going to move on as a nation under Buhari? Why isnt he calling for the probe the source of Wealth of the likes of Dangote, Abacha jnr and the countless other millionaires in the country? Perhaps their wealth is convenient for the self proclaimed Puritan. Nonsense.

dude, we're going round in circles here  

i've already told you that OBJ tried to dig up everything he could on buhari during his 8 years in office and found nothing. or you think that Obaigbena is more 'powerful and influential' than OBJ?
