President Muhammadu Buhari says in fulfilment of one of their campaign promises, his declared assets and those of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will be released to the public upon the completion of their verification by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
It is hoped that this process will be completed before the expiry of the 100-day deadline within which they said they would do this.
The Senior Special Assistant, SSA (Media and Publicity), Mal. Garba Shehu who announced this in a statement on behalf of the President on Saturday, 6 June, said “the duly completed forms by both the President and the Vice President were submitted to the CCB on March 28th, a clear day ahead of their inauguration.”
He said this statement was warranted by the need to clarify some suggestions that the President and the Vice-President may not, after all, declare their assets publicly.
“While such public display of concern is appreciated and valued, it must be said that it is a little precipitate.
“As required by law, the declaration and submission of documents to the CCB have been made, but there still remains the aspect of verification which the Bureau will have to conduct to authenticate the submissions made to it.
“In the circumstances, it is only after this verification exercise, and not before, that the declaration can be said to have been made and validated; and only after this, will the details be released to the public.
“There is no question at all that the President and the Vice President are committed to public declaration of their assets within the 100 days that they pledged during the presidential campaign.
“The President and the Vice President wish to thank Nigerians for their show of concern, and for the confidence they have shown in their leaders’ integrity, as evidenced by the high pedestal of uprightness and expectations on which they have placed them.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteWake up boy and stop somersaulting in Ur own illusions.
DeleteDon't be idiotic with your comments, calling everyone in APC liar. Why not wait till then?
DeleteThis fell within the time frame given by the President and his Vice while campaigning. We are waiting to see the publicity of the asset declaration. As far as I am concerned, it is a litmus test of integrity and fulfillment of one of the campaign promises. I think it is high time everyone of us believes that APC is now in power if we doubts every other events.
ReplyDeleteHmmm this is taking so long...I hope they don't oluwole it since that's what they are good at.
