Breaking: Buhari Slams Iweala And Will Force Ministers To Declare Assets by Mrford(m): 8:02pm On Apr 12, 2015
President-Elect Buhari spoke exclusively with SaharaTV on
how he plans to deal with corruption, the government’s
finances, Boko Haram, and Nigeria’s economy. Most
notably he blamed Minister Iweala for the financial situation
in Nigeria, and that he will make his Ministerial appointees
declare their assets to the public.
When asked about statements from Minister of Finance
Iweala on the fiscal conditions and government spending in
Nigeria, President-Elect Buhari told SaharaTV that “I’m
afraid the Finance Minister has no cause to complain
because the governors cannot force the central government
to act outside the Constitution.”
President-Elect Buhari firmly stated that “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 this
would ensure greater accountability among public servants.
However, he did tell SaharaTV that he does not plan to
interfere with the judiciary and whatever action it may take
pursuing corrupt public officials. He stated that his
administration would not “become embroiled in
investigation every ministry, then the government will not
have time to move forward.”
On the contentious issue of Oil Block ownership in Nigeria,
and an equitable distribution of the country’s wealth, he
suggested that partisan politics in Nigeria is the cause of
inequitability in the oil sector. President-Elect Buhari
claimed that he wanted to professionalize the oil sector in
Nigeria. He said that the “proliferation of oil fields to people
who don’t even know what it is, is one of the messes
partisan politics has brought.” Within the equitable
distribution of wealth and job creation for youth, the
President-Elect pointed to the APC manifesto calling for
greater emphasis on mining and agriculture development.
When pressed on rumors that former president Obasanjo
was exercising inordinate influence on Buhari's
administration he 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."
President-Elect Buhari is now confronted with the challenge
of appointing a ministerial and cabinet team, and he has
stated publicly that PDP defectors should not expect to
receive Minister appointments.
