Claim by a former Governor of Abia State , Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, that President Muhammadu Buhari does not own a house in Abuja is not true,
The PUNCH can report .
.

Kalu, who is the Chief Whip of the Senate , had , while addressing journalists on Saturday , said , “I have known him ( Buhari ) now for 32 years ; he and former military President ( Ibrahim ) Babangida .

.


“He has not changed . Think of it… a man that ruled Nigeria as military head of state and has no house in Abuja or Lagos . He does not have a house in Port Harcourt or Ibadan .

.


“If you go to his house in Daura , it is the same house , the same small house he built long ago .
“The television I saw there when I went there last year for Sallah – that television must have been bought in 1973 .”

However , checks by The PUNCH show that Kalu’s claims are not completely true, as the President has five properties located variously in Kaduna, Katsina , Kano , Port Harcourt and Abuja.

.


In a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity , Garba Shehu , on September 3 , 2015, the Presidency gave some details of what Buhari declared in his asset declaration form which was submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau .

.


The statement reads in part, “The ( CCB ) documents also revealed that President Buhari had a total of five homes, and two mud houses in Daura .
“He had two homes in Kaduna, one each in Kano , Daura ( Katsina State ) and in Abuja .
“One of the mud houses in Daura was inherited from his late older sister , another from his late father .

.


“He borrowed money from the old Barclays Bank to build two of his homes.
“President Buhari also has two undeveloped plots of land , one in Kano and the other in Port Harcourt .
.

He is still trying to trace the location of the Port Harcourt land .
