Your plans won't work

Don't be too fast to judge.He will do that on working day of the week. You know its weekend.

President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo have declared their assets to the Code of Conduct Bureau as required by the Constitution but failed to make the contents public.

The head of Buhari’s media team, Garba Shehu, in a statement on Saturday, said the President and the Vice President submitted their assets declaration forms separately on Thursday.

Shehu added that the CCB, through its Chairman, Sam Saba, on Friday acknowledged the receipt of the forms.

He gave Buhari’s declaration identity number as “President: 000001/2015.”

Shehu, however, did not disclose the contents of the assets declaration forms.

“By declaring their assets, President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo may have not only fulfilled the requirements of the Nigerian Constitution, but also fulfilled the first of their many campaign promises.

“While seeking election into the highest office in the land, the President had promised Nigerians that he would publicly declare his assets as soon as he took over government,” he wrote.

The Nigerian Constitution states in Chapter VI Section 140 that a person elected to the Office of the President shall not begin to perform the functions of that office until he has declared his assets and liabilities as prescribed in the Constitution.

Though the president’s aide believes the declaration was in fulfillment of Buhari’s campaign promises, analysts claim the President has not done anything spectacular because the contents were not made public.

In February this year, while campaigning Buhari had said that he would publicly declare his assets and liabilities, if voted into power.

Buhari stated this in a document. The document highlighted what Buhari would do in his first 100 days if he assumed power on May 29.

He said he would encourage political appointees in his administration to also declare their assets publicly.

Had the new president kept to his words he will be the country’s second president to publicly declare his assets.

Reacting to the news of the asset declaration by Buhari and Osinbajo to the Code of Conduct Bureau, the Peoples Democratic Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, told SUNDAY PUNCH that the PDP was not ready to engage the All Progressives Congress-led government on asset declaration by the two most important persons in the country or any other issue.

Metuh said, “No comment for now. These are early days. At the moment, we wish them well.”

The late President, Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua, also from Katsina State as Buhari, was the first and the only Nigeria’s President to have publicly declared his assets when he assumed office.

This action forced his then deputy, Jonathan, to also make his assets declaration forms available to the public.

However, since he assumed office as the substantive President, Jonathan had refused to make the forms available to the public, saying that he did that when he was serving as deputy to Yar’Adua.

But Buhari, in the document titled, ‘I pledge to Nigeria’ had also said that all his political appointees would only earn salaries and allowances as prescribed by the Revenue and Mobilisation and Fiscal Allocation Commission.

He said, “I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees publicly declare their assets and liabilities as a pre-condition for appointment. All political appointees will only earn the salaries and allowances determined by the RMFAC. I pledge, as Commander-in-Chief, to lead from the front and not behind in the comfort and security of Aso Rock, to boost the morale of fighting forces and the generality of all Nigerians.”

Meanwhile, about 48hours after they took their oaths of office, President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo have yet to move into the Presidential Villa, Abuja, SUNDAY PUNCH has learnt.

Investigation by our correspondent on Saturday showed that the duo only attended the events held in the Villa on Friday and returned to town.

While Buhari was suspected to have returned to the Defence House, the official residence of the President-elect, which he started using shortly after he won the March 28 presidential election, Osinbajo might have returned to his private residence.

Immediately after they were inaugurated as President and Vice President at the Eagle Square on Friday, Buhari and Osinbajo moved to the Presidential Villa for a state luncheon organised in honour of world leaders who attended the inauguration.

They left and later returned in the evening for the inauguration gala night held inside the villa’s old Banquet Hall.

“The President and the Vice President have yet to move into the State House. I learnt that the President returned to Defence House on Friday,” a source said.

I tried getting the point u raised but couldn't get any valid point.It therefore means if boko haram relocates its base to kafanchang in kaduna,the military will also move their intelligent base to kafanchang.what happens in a case where boko boys operates from different arena and at different times,does it mean our military base will just be move around like a single pendulum?

i weep for Nigeria and Nigerians.None of you came up with valid points on how gej should tackle boko haram becos he was from a minority tribe and cos he was so simple,humble and respectful,but since buhari came in,all of u have being trying to proffer solution to this nagging problem of boko haram.obj that you guys celebrate today only fell apart with gej just because gej refused to be controlled by him,but now he is ur navigator.

soon you all will come to appreciate gej.
soon u all will come to know that gej was the best thing Nigeria ever had.

Another yoloba fake handle trying to infiltrate Biafrans

nairalandist:
If Igbos want to secede, please let them go. I believe it's even the Igbos that would be mostly affected. What will happen to those who already have properties in Lagos and places like Kano? Do they think they'll be given dual citizenship to enjoy Biafra and Nigeria together? Do they think the Niger-Delta will follow them? Let them think again o. . . Starting a new country isn't all about making noise.

From what I can see, it's just a bunch of rascals who are at the forefront of the new Biafra (MASSOB) movement. The rich Igbos with businesses all over the country will never support it, not even their Governors. . . And you can be sure that if the entity called Biafra ever works out, THE WHOLE WORLD will impose serious travel restrictions on Ibos as they have carved such a powerful niche in drug dealing that so many foreigners can differentiate an Igbo man from a Yoruba man abroad. . . All the same, I wish them good luck.

musabuhari:
Nah baba i dey blame for being soft on you people..

this man should be arrested after his treasonable radio he have audacity to come out publicly here

talktimi:
you're contradicting yourself with this post. The SE's should be hated and killed but never allowed to leave (the civil war & religious crisis up north, Oba's threat post election this year and even online here on nairaland can be cited as valid examples).

The easterners already have a valid reason to seek autonomy because the hatred I see online against them alone is scary but I can only assure the FG and other Nigerians that underestimating these people will be a big mistake. They have recently been invited to an AU meeting under observer status and are pushing their agitations via legal means. Don't be surprised we wake up one morning and the Biafran country would be a reality

luvmijeje:
What effrontery! I'm joining the OP in calling the attention of the President. Furthermore, the President should sack and arrest every heads of security operatives in the south east and South-south for dereliction of duty.

SLIDEwaxie:
a case against Nigeria is in a Nigerian court...

OrlandoOwoh:
Are you dreaming? Are you mistaking Buhari for Jonathan who gathered Nollywood stars to abuse Buhari? They should go meet Jonathan to build them a film village in Otuoke.

mrmetoo1:
The opposition are already making their tactics known. They know Buhari will perform so they want to set unrealistic expectations coupled with lies to justify whatever it is their plans are. Buhari NEVER said he'll make N1=$1 but TANoids choose to keep peddling false info without concrete proof. "I'll stabilize the oil market" has turned to Buhari said he'll stabilize crude, he'll stabilize world oil prices and other ridiculous statements they can come up with. Even when Buhari said it, he said with regards to the Nigerian market. Dare any of them to post that interview and it'll turn to excuses galore

PassingShot:
That one and the one on stabilizing oil price were inserted. It's the reason they are the only ones without any further elaboration.
Think!

SomebodyLovesMe:
You didn't vote him in, so no one cares what your expectations are.

Narrow-minded Tanoid 'forming' opposition

talktimi:
it's number 14 on the list. So do we call demdem a bastard as he suggested now

Rad1cal:
OP well done, shey na we force am make all those promises wey him useless online almajiris wan try downplay am.


Yeye dey smell

Demdem:
Aptly put.

bakila:
Who is smarter to know that you are just making a fool of yourself for no reason.

SkyBlue1:
He obviously can't but is too invested in his bigotry to admit such a statement was not made. Just pity he and his lot, they are still trying to make sense of the new reality.

BossAyuk:
call your son to explain that sentence for you. it's that simple.

BossAyuk:
stop wallowing in sheer ignorance mr. phockery.

we both know buhari never promised one dollar = one naira any where.

wishing you quick recovery from the shock of a buhari led government.

BossAyuk:
you haven't answered the question.

Demdem:
Fuckfuckfool, can u highlight one excuse i have given so far on this thread? all i asked for was this.....




Does this qualify as an excuse?

BossAyuk:
phockery where did buhari promise you 1dollar = 1 naira?

Demdem:
Fuckfuckfool, its not about the source......u said this also......



U accepted it, open a thread for it and invariably claimed ownership. So fool, answer me.

R0ckefeller:
But why is everybody expecting this/that from pmb. Leave that man alone and you pray he should do the right thing at the right time.
