President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, have declared their assets and will make the documents public soon, as promised during the electioneering campaigns. 

A statement by the Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu said “the documents submitted to the CCB, which officials say are still being vetted and will soon be made public, show that prior to being sworn in on May 29, President Buhari had less than N30 million to his name. He also had only one bank account, with the Union Bank. President Buhari had no foreign account, no factory and no enterprises. He also had no registered company and no oil wells”, the statement said. 

The statement further added that “the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) who had been a successful lawyer before his foray into politics declared a bank balance of about N94 million and 900,000 United States Dollars in his bank accounts”. 

Buhari's Assets will not be Made Public and Here's Why...

The Code of Conduct Bureau will not make public the details of assets declared by President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. And according to the office, this is due to limitations in federal laws covering such release.

There has been controversy over the release of the details of the president and vice president’s assets since their inauguration May 29. Mr. Buhari pledged to publicly declare his assets despite the lack of a law requiring him to do so.  Despite his promise, the president has yet to publicly declare his assets three weeks after taking office.

His office had said those details will be made available after the Code of Conduct Bureau 

authenticates claims in the declaration forms.
