But his spokesperson said he has fulfilled his campaign promise? Anyways, I'm still waiting for his 100 days in office... do remember he also said he will encourage his appointees to publicly declare their assets as that is one of prerequisite of getting appointment under him?.

I wish him well and Nigeria prosperity.

Rawani:
Clearly the past PDP administration was not committed to transparency, accountability and the whole asset declaration process, which is why we are just discovering these constitutional challenges now, an issue that would have been long resolved through making the required amendments which will force the CCB to publish submitted asset declarations in the newspapers.

Regardless of these hiccups, it would be great if President Buhari sets an example and ignores the usual long process, and publicly announces his declared assets so we can concentrate on other issues of national importance.

Bevista:
Let's read it together again, It said "... every public officer shall within three months after the coming into force of this Code of Conduct or immediately after taking office"

I understand that to mean that - after the Code comes into force, all existing public officers then were to declare their assets within the next three months. And all new public officers are to declare theirs immediately after taking office.

My 2 cents. I'm not a lawyer, though.

Mykevp2p:


No, PMB is not setting example... Yar'adua, a PDP president had done the same, even GEJ had previously declared his assets public... The constitution was there when Yar'adua declared his assets ( even though he didn't promise to do so like PMB).

PassingShot:

Yeah he said it but we cannot hold him responsible for that since he used the word "to persuade ".

He surely MUST make his assets public within first 100 days.

kay29000:


All you guys amaze me. We have pressing issues on ground and you are making noise about Buhari not declaring his assets publicly. SMH! This is just his second day in office for christ sake...has he come out to say he won't declare it? Na wa for Nigerians o! We are the cause of our own problems. What do you want to do with his assets anyway...will it put food on your table? Will it fight Boko Haram? Will it make fuel cheaper? Will it reduce Nigeria's debt?

are we talking of vice president Jonathan or president Jonathan?

gboss4sure:


We are patiently waiting and expecting 1 million naira and 150 cows as he told us while campaigning.

Jesusloveyou:

He has many things to attend to, he has not even resume duty,not to talk of having time for less important thing like asset declaration, don't u pple have common sense? boko haram just strike for d first day, and he has swift into action immediately, not like ur 'i don't care' ex-president. Is high time u saTANiod should have common sense.

Whether you like it or not Jonathan declared his assets publicly in 2007. This confirms that you are a perpetual liar for making the comment below:



Whether you like it or not Jonathan remains the ONLY politician alive to have declared his assets PUBLICLY. Even the certificateless Buhari hasn't achieved that feat.

omostar:


And of what use is that declaration when he refuse to declare at the end of his tenure?

Rose2014:


He's just rubbing it all in the faces of Nigerians.
No office of First Lady
He borrowed to buy nomination form and has only one million naira n 150 cows while the wife donated over a hundred million naira on the other end and flaunting her a N10M wrist watch.
Now his asset cannot be declared publicly.
I'm really amazed how gullible Nigerians bought into their Mr.Integrity sermon honestly.



Now Where are those APC e rats that have bn beating their chest over Buhari's integrity?

bakila:

Where the GEJ did that? Saba was trying to rehash his defence of why GEJ's declaration when he held sway could not be made public by him or to frustrate the demand for doing so.
PMB has declared his asset, there is an extant legislation on obtaining public documents from public institutions. Whoever wants to do so should go and file an application to that effect. In my opinion the FOI Act as couched, is a legislation that makes it difficult to get public document in order to cover up a lot,when one wants to do so. The Evidence Act has not changed and that declaration is a public document, whoever wants to get one can always do so. Saba should go and sit down.

Investigate well before making or accepting made allegations by enemies of progress next time, don't exaggerate, and for the fact that Buhari have a rich wife who have beauty parlours all over the world does not translate to Buahri collecting money from her against her will and when did the constitution frown against spending money from your legitimate business money? And what do you have to say about David mark over 40 million naira watch gift to Jonathan at least he is accountable to the electorate and we all know his salary and allowances.

mbhs139:


In as much as your post makes some sense, you took out the credibility in it when you said: "because of their ingrained hatred for a particular region and people." That shows your mindset, your problem, and the type of person you are- tribalist!

Imortal001:

Why is nairaland still allowing a corrupt mind like you to still post comment?

Rose2014:


Aisha and her husband has not entered office and we're already comparing the bolded


So where's the change they promised?

And if u believe that watch cost $129 u'll believe anything.
Didn't u just say she owns beauty parlours all over the world and is very rich that she could donate 135m while her husband only has 1m.

Now u prefer to believe her watch is $129.smh

akanbiaa:
and how does what she spends from her sweat concerns you?

You might be right. However the bone of contention is that it's done AFTER not BEFORE taking office.

Bevista:
I'm not sure anybody is barred from doing his earlier, cos PMB and PYO submitted theirs on 28th May 2015.

Bevista:
The Constitution requires the president to declare his assets to CCB BEFORE taking oath of office, so I don't quite agree with you on that one. CCB usually has 30 days to confirm if the information contained in the forms are true, which probably explains why Yar'Adua made it public immediately after 30 days.

But yes, Shehu Garba goofed. Just like when he claimed he was under instruction to stop the AIT Journalist only for PMB to deny knowledge of such.
