Arabambi Files Suit for Release of Obi's Asset Declarations
Abayomi Arabambi, a chieftain of the Labour Party, has initiated legal proceedings at the Federal High Court in Abuja against the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to compel the release of asset declaration forms belonging to Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress. The case, numbered FHC/ABJ/CS/2504/2026, also names the CCB Chairman, the Senate President, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives as respondents.
Arabambi, represented by Oshoke Asimegbe, submitted two requests to the CCB on August 31 and October 8, 2026, under the Freedom of Information Act, seeking access to Obi's asset declarations from 2006 and 2014. The CCB rejected his request in a letter dated September 17, 2026, which was delivered on September 25.
Arabambi argues this rejection violates his constitutional rights and seeks a court order for the CCB to provide the requested documents. He also requests the National Assembly leadership to establish guidelines for public access to asset declarations.
