Buhari Speaks On The Appointment Of Ministers by SonOFaGun(m): 2:01pm On Apr 13, 2015
President elect, Gen Muhammadu Buhari says all political
office holders, governors, ministers, permanent secretaries,
head of foreign staff and others, will be declaring their a
$$ets before a law court on a$$umption 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 a$$ets on
the a$$umption of their appointment and definitely with
the courts. And once they leave they have to re-declare
their a$$ets.” 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.”
