Your Excellency,

Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(Rtd.),GCFR

Commander-in-Chief and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

Presidential Villa, Three Arms Zone,

FCT, Abuja.

Sir,

RE: YOUR ASSET DECLARATION AND THE CORRUPT MINISTERIAL NOMINEES:

REQUEST FOR MORE CLARIFICATION IN THE INTEREST OF TRANSPARENCY

Save Nigeria Group (SNG) is the foremost registered coalition of human rights and prodemocracy organizations in Nigeria. It was formed as a child of necessity on 6th of January, 2010 by prominent human rights and prodemocracy activists and organizations in Nigeria to mobilize the populace to guard the nation’s democracy which was then threatened by the crises associated with late President Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua’s sickness. We are non-governmental organization dedicated to the promotion of democracy, freedom, constitutionalism, security, peace, transparency and good governance in the country.

Sir, after a crucial meeting of our organization wherein we appraised the issues surrounding your asset declaration and your ministerial nominees among other things, we resolved to write you to first convey our support for your promised anti-corruption war in Nigeria and to demand for clarification on the necessary details of your asset declaration to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) as well as to inform you that most of your ministerial nominees are tainted and corrupt.

According to Garba Shehu, the documents you submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), show that prior to being sworn in on the 29th May,2015 you had less than N30 million and one bank account(with the Union Bank);a total of seven(7) houses, which include two mud houses in Daura, two homes in Kaduna, one each in Kano, Daura and in Abuja; two undeveloped plots of land, including one in Kano and the other in Port Harcourt(which you are still trying to trace);farms in Daura, which include an orchard and a ranch with the total number of your holdings in the said farms comprising 270 heads of cattle, 25 sheep, five horses, a variety of birds and a number of economic trees; a number of cars, two of which you bought from your savings and the others supplied to you by the federal government in your capacity as former Head of State while the rest were donated to you by well-wishers...read more ;http://africanfreepress.com/?p=6011
