President Muhammadu Buhari has ignored the recommendation of his transition committee to publicly declare his assets immediately after assuming office, PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report today.

As part of quick wins for the administration, the Ahmed Joda-led committee recommended that the President should immediately after assumption of office declare his assets publicly.

It also recommended prompt prosecution of pending cases and the publication of the audited financial statements of the Federal Government. Other recommendations include the recovery of stolen funds, review and reforms in government waivers and tax exemptions as well as non-conviction based forfeiture by legislations.

But more than a month after he was sworn in, Mr. Buhari has not made his assets and so is his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo. The President’s refusal to disclose the report of his asset declaration is a clear negation of the promise of his party, the All Progressives Congress, that unlike former President Goodluck Jonathan, their presidential candidate, Mr. Buhari would publish his assets if elected into office.

While campaigning across the country, the APC had assured Nigerians that Mr. Buhari would publicly declare his assets and liabilities immediately after assumption of office.
