Sir firefire, seriously I even had a laugh when you said buhari lied about his assets declaration in 2014 which didn't correspond with his 2015 assets declaration. Now a good economics will just laugh at you my brother

omenka:
My problem isn't even that but the lie the op is telling the public. How does Odinkalu saying something amount to NHRC saying the same?? Very disgusting.

DropShot:
It's Buhari. So, stop fooling yourself around here.

My brother I wish I know who the odinkalu is and what he exactly said on national TV{channels I guess}. But one thing we are all sure of is; the president and his vice have declared their assets publicly

freeze001:
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!

freeze001:
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 hos 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?

I follow you laugh the wayo man jare.

Buhary the wayo wayo man, one statement today another tommorow. Chai!

Don't forget you are yet to provide that link were the President promised to disclosed his net worth. @ freeze01, maybe you can help your friend with the link

If a leader promised one thing and do another, what type of leader is he ?
Promises are to be kept. This alone is enough to remove him from office.
Another being that only Angels will serve in his cabinet, what is Ameachi still doing in the cabinet after indictment by Rivers state govt. white or black paper

Don't be a lazy punk!

He has declared and anyone who isn't satisfied can do either of my suggestions.

After all, the Ineffectual Buffoon didn't even give a damn.

Keneking:
How many times should Buhari declare his assets?

Woxxaaaa, food don done for the wailers, listening to Osita Osadebe.....>>>.Peoples club (osondi owendi) and laughing at what you said

DropShot:
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.

fiizznation:
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.

There is a clear disparity with Buhary statement during his campaign.

A simple question sir, what is the net worth of your president ?

And what is stopping him from instructing CCB to make public his assets declaration forms ?

If you need a sample of good public assets declaration, Buharu should take a clue from Late Musa Yar'Adua

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!”

Vice President Jonathan Bows To Pressure, Declares N.2Billion In Assets



VP Goodluck Jonathan 
The Vice president Goodluck Jonathan yesterday capitulated to public pressure over the public declaration of his assets as done by his boss, President Umaru Yaradua as he made public his assets declaration to the Code of Conduct Bureau.

The assets which were made public by the senior Special Assistant to the Vice president on Media and Public Affairs, Ima Niboro indicates that the value of the Vice president total assets and cash in banks stands at N295,304,420.

This is about N561, 148,472 less than the assets declare by President Umaru Yar’Adua who declared his total assets to be at the value of N856,452,892.

Mr. Iniboro said the vice president’s decision to make public his assets declaration was to show that ‘there is nothing to hide’.

He added that the vice president is ‘a firm believer in the rule of law and this has guided his conduct in office through the years.

“It is this belief that also guided his position that having declared his assets for a total of seven times, there was no point in going further to publish the declaration” he noted

The vice president’s aide regretted that the position of the vice president not to make public his assets declaration had ‘generated an unfortunate storm, which is not only distractive but also quite unnecessary. We are worried that some newspapers and citizens we hold in high esteem have joined the fray.

“This merely shows that in the affairs of man, there comes a time when even the law must take a second place and the public mood must define our actions. To The Vice president, this is such a time, hence the choice to send you a copy of his declaration for publication” he said.

This is where I hate our media houses. Are we saying not a single one of them can conduct a successful investigative/undercover operation to reveal what was submitted for verification to CCB.

Only Sahara Reporters are trying when it comes to investigative journalism but they also have disappointed on this one.

omenka:
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.

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.”

Buhary must hear this...

stinechykee:
guy talk wat u know cos PMB never declare his asset u Zombie

fiizznation:
And when did buhari ever promised anybody that he will disclose his net worth? Can you provide a link to that? Besides how can he{buhari} know his net worth as a seating President? Can you mention just one seating President in the world that has ever disclosed his net worth while he was still on seat? Or can you honestly tell me the net worth of late President yar'adua.

He said he will declare his assets which he did publicly and everybody heard him. So what are you saying again?
