“By this release too, we call on ex-Governor Okezie Ikpeazu to also disclose his assets, including funds left in the various government accounts. These have to be declared for transparency and accountability,” the group stated. It noted that the latest demand for the public declaration of assets was timely as it is in line with the provisions of the Fifth Schedule of the 1999 Constitution.
