Second Term: Buhari Declares His Asset Says, No New Houses, Shares

President Muhammadu Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari submitted his asset declaration forms to the Code of Conduct Bureau on Tuesday, meeting the May 28 deadline the bureau set for public officers to make their end of tenure declaration.

Buhari will be inaugurated for a second term on Wednesday (today) for another four years. By constitutional provisions, the declaration is mandatorily to precede his oath-taking today.

“The duly completed forms were submitted to the Chairman of the CCB, Prof Mohammed Isa, on behalf of the President by Sarki Abba, Senior Special Assistant, Household and Domestic Affairs”, the Presidency said last night in a statement by Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu.

The President claimed not to own new property than the assets he declared in 2015 when he began his first term.

The Presidency said, “The forms, as signed by the President and sworn to before a Judge of Abuja High Court, showed no significant changes in assets as declared in 2015 by him.

“There are no new houses, no new bank accounts at home and abroad and there are no new shares acquired.

“The chairman of the CCB commended the President for leading by example by declaring his assets in accordance with the law.”

Punch recalls that Buhari in 2015, through a statement by Shehu, mentioned the assets he had declared at the CCB before assuming office.

On the list released in September, 2015, Buhari stated that he had N30m in his bank account before he assumed office in May of that year.
