President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo will make their assets declaration
public after same would have be verified by the
Code of Conduct Bureau.
Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on
Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu disclosed this
in a statement Saturday evening.
There has been an outcry over Buhari’s decision
to not make his asset declaration public as he
promised during his campaign tour.
The Code of Conduct Bureau had claimed that it
lacked the constitutional powers to Make Buhari’s
assets declation public.
But in a statement in Abuja Saturday, Garba
quoted Muhammadu Buhari as saying that ” in
fulfillment 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” he said.
Mal. Garba Shehu noted that “the duly completed
forms by both the President and the Vice
President were submitted to the CCB on May
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” the statement added. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/buhari-osibanjos-assets-to-be-made-public-after/
