Buhari, Osinbajo Should Declare Their Assets Publicly - NHRC

A former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, says President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo have not done well by not declaring their assets publicly.

Odinkalu spoke in an interview with Channels Television on Sunday night.

He said both leaders should fulfill their campaign promise to declare their assets, adding that transparency was a requisite to fighting corruption effectively.

The human rights activist, however, said the President had demonstrated the courage and will to stop corruption in public office.

Odinkalu said Nigerians were not interested in perfection but that a process of change was set in motion which could then be monitored for further progress in the country.

He said, “I have to say I disagree and continue to disagree with the way in which their asset declarations were managed.

“I don’t think they have kept faith with their campaign promise to publish their assets and I do think that it is necessary in order to fight corruption effectively.

“The President is an individual and he is not going to fight corruption by himself. My view has always been that the most a President could do is to provide leadership.”

Odinkalu said a comment credited to British Prime Minister, David Cameron, that Nigeria is a fantastically corrupt country, was a call to action.

He, however, said Cameron’s comment demonstrated “colonial arrogance.”

He said, “The important thing is (that) we focus on rebuilding our country into something we all can be proud of and a country that works for its citizens and does not excuse the misbehaviour of people because we think those are big people.

“The problem we have with corruption in Nigeria is actually impunity. It’s about institutions and the application of rules to people. That’s where we fail because Nigeria is a very stratified and very hierarchical society.”

It is long overdue. We are no longer interested in their assets. Let them just fix this counrty and her economy to enable us acquire our own assets...

What will you reap from hypocrites declaring their assets?

And how many times are they going to do that? When they first came into power, people were screaming that they should declare their assets, they did that. And now you people are saying they should declare it "publicly". So what's then the essence of declaring their assets in the first place? Is not like they don't have any work to do in asorock aside from declaring their assets.

What was submitted was never made public and to get the details it takes a long legal process. There is even a disparicty with what Buhary declared publicly during his campaign and the 'Flash' declaration from Garba Shehu.

Why can't Buhary do like Late Musa Yar'adua whose assets declaration and that of his entire family are still available in the cyberspace for scrutiny and verifications ?

Buhary should be honorable enough to publicly declare his assets and that of this entire family who are above 18 years of age.

Please compare the below with the bogus statement from Garba Shehu...


Buhary we need your assets to be declared publicly.

Buhari has declared his assets as he wishes to.

If you're not satisfied, you have options:
1. Invoke FOI law to get it. Or

2. Sponsor detectives to do an undercover operation to unravel it.

What is it that you don't understand by the word "publicly"? Didn't you hear when buhari said he has only three houses, one in Kaduna, another one in daura and then a plot of land in port Harcourt? What about his 150 cows he told you people he had? So what kind of publicly declared assets do you guys want? Or I get it, you want him to visit every Nigerian family and tell them what he is worth/worth not? You guys are very comedic

And then there is the question of why Buhari lied in 2014 about being a pauper, and suddenly in 2015, barely a year later, he is such a rich man. Punch disclosed that Buhari had written in his Facebook page (thank God for the internet) as follows:


“I have at least one million naira in my bank, having paid N5.5m to pick my form from my party.

“I have around 150 (head of) cattle because I am never comfortable without cows.

“I have a house each in Kaduna, Kano, and Daura, which I borrowed money to build.

“I never had a foreign account since I finished my courses in the USA, India and the UK.

“I never owned any property outside Nigeria. Never!”

How does the opinion of Odinkalu who once worked for the NHRC become a statement from NHRC??

This is one thing that disgusts me about PDP supporters- they tell such barefaced lies just for the hell of it.

What Odinkalu has said is a good thing and I believe pro-Buhari posters like myself would wanna support such an action, but the op didn't have to lie the statement came from National Human Rights Commission when it is coming from a private citizen like himself- it is totally unnecessary.

The only thing that qualifies as public declaration of assets is the publication of assets declaration forms as signed by the declarant and verified by the CCB. Any other thing like that half-assed speech by Shehu Garba is only meant to create plausible deniability for Buhari in the event that there is more found to be belonging to him than supposedly declared.

Now the regular supporters are saying buhari has declared but when new developments are brought to limelight exposing their tin god as criminally fraudulent, they will say he never declared it himself neither did he publish any document signed by him regarding his assets.

I will not be surprised if tomorrow I hear Odinkalu has been summoned by EFCC for questioning on some trumped up charges just to dent his image and credibility as well as punish him for daring to question the actions of the 'Lord of the Manor'!

I remember very well that when he just entered office as President people demanded for the public declaration of his assets and that of the Vice president as promised during the election campaigns. The response from all supporters were that they had made their declaration to the CCB and so there must be time given for verification.

What was the aim of the verification requirement? Is it not obvious to you that the content of the asset declaration forms as verified by the CCB ought to be made public? In ur honest opinion devoid of bias and political affiliation, does that statement by Garba Shehu qualify as full disclosure of assets of the President? Remember the requirement is for the declaration of the assets of the public holder and those of family members above 18. Are any of those details in the public domain? What about the Vice President? Even if no member of his family owns any asset, where is the declaration to that effect?

What is public declaration of assets other than publication of the assets form sworn under oath or a full disclosure by the President himself? How can Shehu say d President owns land somewhere in Portharcourt but doesn't know the location? Would you really accept that?
