The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL has applauded the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for the conviction of a former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Godsday Orubebe, for failing to declare one of his assets. CACOL in a statement by its Executive Chairman, Comrade Debo Adeniran, said:
“We are excited by this development as it apparently records the first conviction of a politically exposed person by the tribunal. It is a welcome development; we believe that is the way to go, which is why we have always emphasized the imperativeness of having no ‘sacred cows’ in the war against corruption.
“We must demystify the criminal elements in our midst; the ‘untouchables’ and the ‘sacred cows’ by lawfully smashing the walls the ‘big and mighty’ utilize to escape justice even when they are evidently culpable in looting our treasury.
