SENATOR DECLARES HIS ASSETS PUBLICLY.

Apparently toe tailing the president's footsteps, a kaduna senator has also declared his assets publicly.
24 hours after President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
declared their assets, Sen. Shehu Sani representing Kaduna
Central Senatorial District, has also declared his assets.
According to a statement he released today September 4th,
Senator Sani who has 2 wives and 6 children, says he has a total
of N22 million in three bank accounts, owns two residential
houses in Kaduna, two houses under lease in Kaduna, two
uncompleted office apartments in Kaduna, one residential house in
Abuja, one family inherited house in Kurfi, Katsina State, and one
family inherited house in Minna, Niger State.
He also added that he owns several cars, and bought N5million
worth of shares in 2007 but which crashed in 2008. According to
him, declaration of assets is a moral challenge to all public office
holders.
"In line with moral example set by President Muhammadu Buhari
and Vice President Osinbajo, and in conformity to the standard of
transparent and exemplary leadership, and in submission to the
public and popular demand for integrity test to all public office
holders, in a new Nigeria on a filtration process for a politically
cleaner and decent future, I have decided to voluntarily make this
public declaration. President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice
President Osinbajo public declaration of their assets is a moral
challenge to all public holders. Their declaration challenges all
men of conscience and docks all men who lay claim to self dignity
and self worth. Their public declaration hangs a chain of guilt on
the neck of all public office holders. To refuse to publicly declare
assets is to continue to carry the burden of a moral thorn of guilt in
a nation whose generation of leaders for so long stands in the
dock of ethical court. There are no saints and angels in politics,
but the citizenry deserve to know the moral truth behind the facade
of uprightness. A clean broom is needed to clean a dirty space. I
chose to publicly declare and be pelted than to walk with the stain
of suspicion and mistrust splashed on all public office holders by a
generation of curious citizenry"the statement read.
