All my political appointees will declare their assets on resumption and termination of their appointment - Buhari

President elect, Gen Muhammadu Buhari says all political office holders, governors, ministers, permanent secretaries, head of foreign staff and others, will be declaring their assets before a law court on assumption of their appointment and at the end of their appointment. According to him, this would ensure accountability amongst public servants. He said this in an interview with Sahara TV yesterday April 12th
"All those that were governors, ministers, permanent secretaries, head of foreign staff and all those with political appointments will have to declare their assets on the assumption of their appointment and definitely with the courts. And once they leave they have to re-declare their assets.” he said
He said that his administration will not interfere in the judicial process that will be used to pursue corrupt officials. According to him, if his administration “become embroiled in investigation of every ministry, then the government will not have time to move forward.”

Reacting to the recent remarks by the Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on the fiscal conditions and government spending in Nigeria, Gen Buhari said “I’m afraid the Finance Minister has no cause to complain because the governors cannot force the central government to act outside the Constitution.”
Regarding the controversies surrounding oil block ownership in Nigeria, Gen Buhari said partisan politics has been responsible for award oil wells to people who do not have any business with it in the first place

"Proliferation of oil fields to people who don’t even know what it is, is one of the messes partisan politics has brought.” he said

Reacting to insinuation in some quarters that former President Olusegun Obasanjo was indirectly having influence in his incoming government, Gen Buhari said "I think that people have to accept the realities of Nigeria’s political development. General Olusegun Obasanjo is the only living Nigerian that led Nigeria for more than 11 years, so for anybody to think that General Obasanjo is irrelevant or he was trying to push his influence over issues, I think is being uncharitable and not being fair to Nigeria’s political development."

  13. I agree about asset declaration and oil well grabbing. Here's hoping that he will run a fair government and will not be derailed by a selfish bunch of people.the rot in our economy and government runs deep and will take time to fix.

  18. Ok good luck to you and your government- just remember that most of those people in your party crossed over from PDP and there will be some Nigerians who will frustrate you in every thing you do. Will you give me an appointment in your government? Let me declare my assets: 1 modest house in Jos, another in Abuja that is used to generate rental income, a share in a garden business and N60,000 in my bank account with First Bank a/c last time I checked- I believe I am exactly the sort of appointee you are looking for

  29. Apt our general. Don't mind that Gele wearing woman, our economy went to Comatose under her watch. True Obasanjo is an elder statesman but, don't be in bed with him or hobnob too much with him cos, even though he's clever and has d Nigerian blueprint in this pouch, his corrupt tendencies also fuels his duplicity of character

  53. The days of celebration of corruption and impunity is over. No wonder GMB faced the degree of antagonism pressed against him by the PDP and the goons of corruption and impunity within its ranks. Even those with questionable past within the APC would have to be repented souls else won't be spared. The true Buhari is beginning to emerge - zero tolerance for corruption, indiscipline , mismanagement and irresponsible use of office. Bring it on! The peoples General.

  54. Even the so called rich, elites, celebrities have to watch their steps. Those who acquire wealth through businesses that sabotaged our economy and infrastructure and inflicted suffering on the common Nigerians will have to do things aright or exit or face the wrath of the law.

Dis two women shud b fishedout wit dis private jet flying kids. Also their children n d childres spouses where applicable shud al declare. Nonsense n rubish. Women who shud hav bin mothers acted like whoremongers. I am here battling my health n pay school fees for other peoples children.i don vex so try I hug wet transformer. Al dis ban workers shud also b checked. Av bin saying it. How can a bank teller b building mansions on only ond n hnd. How many of our 2:1 graduate have good jobs or evn jobs at all. Were as d military has many oficers without AUTHENTIC certficates. Let d military do certificate verification (buhari case aside
      let dat b counted as a bygone) but other present certificates b verified let d jonles grads wit true certificates get the job n others who bought d certificate thru d VCs/ registrers boys n kidz b flushed out.

  71. sal baba! the feeling i get is dat many politicians dat expected business as usual are by now disappointed. Thats d meaning of tru change. There has to be a holistic shift of
    hw tins were being done in d
    immediate past. Buhari is a serious minded person
    and knows exactly wat he wants for Nigeria.
    As for obasanjo, he needs to be careful of
    him. He is vindictive , fickle and thinks he knows more
    dan everybody on hw to lead d country. if u
    do not do his biddings he fights u. Buhari i
    am sure knws him and would take neccesary
    caution. I wish u well mr president elect!
