Aides of President Muhammadu
Buhari, yesterday, explained why the president did not declare his
assets publicly. They said he will make his assets known to Nigerians
within the first 100 days of his stay in power in line with his
assertions before the election.
Meanwhile, there were mixed reactions,
yesterday, on the report that the president and Vice-President Yemi
Osinbajo had submitted their assets declaration to the Code of Conduct
Bureau without immediately making them public.
A civil rights group, Socio-Economic
Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, argued that it was imperative
for the duo to make public their assets. It said the action will
indicate “their desire and commitment to ending corruption in the
country.” The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on its part, said it would
allow Buhari to settle down for governance before taking him to task on
his campaign promises.
However, some notable Nigerians
disagreed over call for the public declaration of assets by the
president and his vice president. READ MORE omojuwa.com
