Politics › Re: Onyema Responds To Buhari's Critics Over Assets Declaration Not Made Public by Rawani: 1:32pm On May 31, 2015*

Hopefully Nigerians will exercise some patience, and the opposition will abandon their shallow distractions veiled as constructive criticism.

It's so bad that Olisa Metuh was forced to speak sensibly today acknowledging the prematurity of expecting the President to publicly announce his declaration 48 hours after inauguration and 24 hours before the next business day, since they have not been verified by the CBB, so they can be gazzetted for public consumption.

The 30-day wait explains why the only past President to ever publicly announce the declaration of his assets, Late President Yar'adua, made his declaration on the 28th of June, 2007 - 30 days after his inauguration.

I thought I would see a convincing explanation of the alleged non-remittance of oil revenues, and the shameful attempt to hoodwink Nigerians with the sham audit by PwC in their audit 'report'.

All will be investigated madam including the subsidy scam and if you're found guilty;

aahah I laugh in Warri slang,that Agency is more corrupt than any Nigerian president past or present,I always tell people who have ears to hear the leadership of the day is not the problem they have good intention at heart, the would like to leave a good name,ie GEJ, PMB I believe the have the good of the Nation at heart but those under them especially those whose positions are not affected by election rather than appointment are the problem of this country.DO you know how many times I wrote to that same Govt department under the FIO act to get info on how many CCTV equipment gets imported into that country and no answer or reply? yet it took £10 and 2 weeks to get such result in the UK.That same crap dept is responsible for telling us the tonnage of PMS imported into the country, will they?

You wrote to the CODE OF CONDUCT Bureau for information on imported CCTV equipment and got no reply...

And you're surprised?

Wow.

Why not just elope woman? After all, PMB has instructed no one should be stopped from running away.

One way or the other, you will be brought to justice.

I think that instruction to the airports scared them more than it relieved them. A crate and a first class seat are two very different things bruv (not that it's likely of course).

It is available and the agency is required by law to grant such requests. The insincere nature of the past government is what made the CCB seem uncooperative. Believe me, this week you will know what your President earns. Quote me if you don't.

Bros it's a pity you believed the lie Rawani posted there. The CCB has NEVER released their public record to the public because of the terms and conditions concerning such. That was why Yar Adua went an extra step by declaring his assets public even after declaring it with the CCB. That's what we want Buhari to do.

The Constitution and FOI Act are a lie? My goodness.

I'm not the National Assembly, neither are you. That provision was put there in the interest of national security. You do not expect that a request to the NA for example, to disclose strategic troop movements will be granted to any random individual without any regulatory mechanism.

Not true. The CCB is backed by law to keep the assets declaration information confidential. Many groups have tried assessing information from them and failed, even with the FoI bill at their disposal. Click on the link below to see a scenario where a group tried to get some info from CCB, they failed:

http://saharareporters.com/2011/10/21/group-sues-code-conduct-bureau-over-jonathans-assets-declaration

You TANoids must think everyone is silly.

Paragraph 3, Part I of the Third Schedule to the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, provides that the Code of Conduct Bureau shall have power to: (a) receive declarations by public officers made under paragraph 12 of Part I of the Fifth Schedule to this Constitution; (b) examine the declarations in accordance with the requirements of the Code of Conduct or any law; (c) retain custody of such declarations and make them available for inspection by any citizen of Nigeria on such terms and conditions as the National Assembly may prescribe.

Pursuant to the aforementioned constitutional provisions and section 2 of the Freedom of Information Act 2011, which states that;

“Notwithstanding anything contained in any other Act, Law or Regulation, the right of any person to access or request information, whether or not contained in any written form, which is in the custody or possession of any public official, agency or institution howsoever described, is hereby established”

That Jonathan blocked AFRICMIL from being allowed to inspect and obtain copies of his completed asset declaration forms which led them to sue the FG is not an excuse to claim that CCB is backed by law to keep the assets declaration information confidential.

The assets were declared on a weekend, less than 48 hours after inauguration and 24 hours before the next business day. Furthermore, the asset declaration forms are available to anyone interested at the CCB on payment of N100 and choose to publish the contents for Nigerians.

As many have testified, the quality of this opposition which otherwise should be robust and intelligent, has been compromised by the overbearing feelings of frustration, disbelief and sheer helplessness at the victory of their most hated General, that has tinted their lens of objectivity and rationality, unfortunately so. We encourage other members of this forum to rise and form a formidable opposition that offers bile free rational criticism which will keep the ruling party on its toes.

I am glad that President Buhari has elevated the benchmark for governance above the mediocrity of Jonathan's administration, and more is expected from him; a successful litmus test of the progress of our nascent democracy.

Continue to ignore this baseless thread, others have already exposed the emptiness, vindictiveness, prematurity, and irrationality of the OP's claims especially in light of the fact that the only precedence they have provided which is the Late President Yar'adua's case, clearly states that he announced his public declaration of his assets on the 29th of June - a clean ONE MONTH after inauguration. The irrationality and borderline delusion of the OP is underlined by the fact that the assets were declared on a weekend, less than 48 hours after inauguration and 24 hours before the next business day.

A wiser thing for them to do would be to give Buhari a long rope at least; the lack of justification for their rants is what exposes it as empty, childish, and ridiculous. Their obsession with settling a perceived score with particularly online progressives, blinds them to logic, reason and all semblance of rationality in their thinking and utterances.

Well written sir.

Accidental leadership is bereft of purpose, and a lack of purpose means it's impossible to have a direction, which explains where we are today. PMB persevered for a reason, a purpose, which informs the clear direction we have today with regard to the war against terror (relocation of command centre) and management of the economy (re-focus on mining and agriculture to check falling oil prices).

Now we have a leader.

Drabeey:
Since yesterday since it as been the talk in town that President Buhari said in his inaugural speech that "i am for everyone and not for anyone."
This issue since then has been what people started hard,harsh and sometimes reasonable debate about. In short it was like the debate that ensued between football fans about who is greater between Messi & Ronaldo.
What is your own viem about take about that statement. Is he reffering to a set of people? Any connotative meaning to that statement?
And let the game begin. Hussaahh!

President Buhari's statement is in light of the ethno-religious divisions in the country today, and the perceived effects of his relationship with members of his party like Tinubu et al. on his performance.

Essentially he is implying that he will discharge his duties without fear or favour, he will be independent-minded without bias, yet he will listen and accord the same treatment to all that seek him. His refusal to accept Rochas's nomination of Onu as SGF is a case in point and underlines his resolve.

We need all the help we can get, and I believe PMB as C-in-C is experienced enough to examine all the terms of the assistance and reject outrightly, any that threaten our sovereignty and are not in parallel with our best interests.

What we should emphasize upon is technology transfer and 'train the trainer programs' and not just combat, intelligence or operational support, essentially teaching us to fish instead of being handed fishes. While we should be cautious is our dealings with the west, we should also be wary of throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Jagaban deserves commendation for having the vision to enter an alliance which he knew could deliver Nigerians from the shackles of a party characterized by corruption, impunity and blatant disregard for the rule of law. A man that gave the SW a political identity; rising from the governor of a single AD state in 1999, to establishing a political empire that now controls the majority of the states, the Legislature and the Presidency.

Jagaban gave us Fashola, Ambode and facilitated the emergence of our dear Buhari, individuals that have distinguished themselves, and are the hope of millions of Nigerians today. Well done Senator B.A.T, the undisputed Lion of Bourdillion.
