I swear, it is either Governor Seyi Makinde is now broke (due to his long years of massive political spendings) or he is being modest in his declaration!
His companies can NOT be worth a paltry N48Billion!
It is NOT possible!

From:
— Ban of NURTW to
— Declaration of free education
— Wavering off his right to immunity
— Repairs of old govt vehicles
— Running an Inclusive government
— Public declaration of assetSeyi Makinde is the embodiment of the modern Nigerian dream
That’s, If such a thing exists

Its modest if Seyi Makinde declares he’s worth N48Billion. As far back as 1999, at early concept deployment of SCADA for oil companies across Mid Africa, that nigga walked away with over $350Million, as the only indigenous body of knowledge in SIS automation.

I hope the verification and declaration of sources of the Seyi Makinde’s 48 billion assets would be established.
His tax liability on profits made in businesses that shot his assets to that level should also be confirmed.
The guy is putting a noose on his own neck!

Meanwhile, Socio-Economic Right and Accountability Project (SERAP) after applauding Makinde’s action requested that he allow their team of volunteers to access these assets publicly declared.
Dear @seyiamakinde SERAP applauds your bold move, and commitment to transparency. SERAP has a team of volunteers that is capable of verifying these assets, and we would appreciate your public invitation authorising us to carry out the verification exercise.
Looking forward. https://t.co/VYmIwoUnmX— SERAP (@SERAPNigeria) July 15, 2019
Dear @seyiamakinde inviting SERAP team/other groups to verify your asset declaration will reassure citizens about the accuracy of the details of the declared assets. Allowing verification would be consistent with your uncommon move and help to avoid anticipatory asset declaration
