TACKLING CORRUPTION; ASSET DECLARATION BY POLITICIANS IS INEVITABLE, BUT NOT INFALLIBLE By: OPEYEMI ABDUL-LATEEF

 

Sequel to the success of the All Progressive Party on the 2015 general elections, hopes for positive change and a better Nigeria are very much on the pinnacle. Undoubtedly, this miracle can no way happen overnight, all hands must tirelessly remain on deck to ensure it. In fact, not a strategy, but tons of it is needed in getting the job done.

Objectively, asset declaration is very germane in the quest of flushing corruption out of the whole system of Nigeria. Truly, it makes the worth of politicians and every office holder known to the public. However, it should be noted that declaration doesn’t capture all needed to ensure ideal governance. From the antecedent in fact, it has severally deceived the masses.

Asset declaration can only mirror the present status of the declarer. Beyond that, Nigeria needs some level of holiness in it’s leadership realm. Nigerians want to know how diligently effective every leader would control the helm.

If product of governance and the persons in government is the ultimate concern, then declaration before inception of office is not all enough to determine the success. Therefore, we need to invest more interests in the modus operandi of the system and administration. This has in inclusion, the operations of the political leaders and all civil servants throughout their period of service.

Many have declared, still, nothing has really changed. This implies nothing but the fact that there are more to be added to asset declaration.
