The controversial chairman of the PACAC, the group claimed in a statement signed by its National President, Comrade Oladimeji Odeyemi, that Sagay did not declare his assets.

“The consequences of this illegality is for Prof. Sagay to be removed. We, therefore, give the respected Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, who is a Professor of Law and a senior advocate, to put a stop to this illegality within 48 hours.

“We also call on the CCB to within 72 hours thoroughly investigate Professor Sagay,” the statement read.

It further said: “We are surprised and disappointed to find out that Sagay continues to go to equity with soiled hands. He is the one who is loudest about the anti-corruption fight of the government, yet he did not declare his assets.”
