A Lagos-based law firm, Lawflex, has asked the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to prosecute the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, for failing to declare his offshore holdings and their associated assets in the Pandora Papers exposé.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that in a recent letter signed by Olukoya Ogungbeje and received by the CCB, the firm said that Obi flouted the code of conduct for Nigerian public officials and urged the Bureau to “act appropriately” by arraigning the former Anambra State governor. According to the law firm, Obi contravened the Code of Conduct for Nigerian Public Officers as spelt out in the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, (As Amended).
