The Lagos state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for the immediate arrest of Bola Tinubu, the former governor of the state.
According to PDP, Tinubu was erroneously discharged by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) during his trial when he was charged for holding 10 foreign accounts contrary to section 7 of the CCB & Tribunal Act, Cap 15 LFN, 2004 as amended.
In a statement by its spokesman, Taofik Gani, PDP urged the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to arrest and prosecute Tinubu for violating the laws of the land and breaching public trust during his tenure as governor of the state between 1999 and 2003.
“We demand the immediate invitation, arrest and prosecution of Tinubu for violating the laws of the land and breaching public trust by operating several foreign accounts during his tenure as Lagos state governor between 1999 and 2007.
“During this period, the state did not witness meaningful developments commensurate to its internally generated revenues and federal government allocations. We strongly believe that those foreign accounts were used to steal Lagos funds.
