Firstclass newsline gathered that president Muhammadu Buhari on
Saturday said he and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo would only declare
their assets publicly as promised during their campaigns after the
Code of Conduct Bureau had completed the verification of their
declared assets.
He expressed the hope that the verification would be concluded within
the first 100 days of their administration during which they promised
that their assets would be declared publicly.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity,
Garba Shehu, made the clarification in a statement made available to
journalists.
Shehu had penultimate Saturday issued a statement indicating that
Buhari and Osinbajo had declared their assets before CCB without
giving details of the assets declared.
The development attracted criticism from individuals and groups who
recalled that Buhari, during electioneering, promised to declare his
assets publicly and encourage those who will work with him to do the
same.
But Shehu in the latest statement said the President and Vice
President had said that in fulfillment of one of their campaign
promises, their declared assets would be released to the public upon
the completion of their verification by the CCB.
He said the 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.
He however described the concern raised by members of the public as
"a little precipitate."
The presidential spokesman said the President and Vice President
remained committed to their electoral promise of declaring their
assets publicly within the first 100 days of their administration.
