President Muhammadu Buhari, during
his state visit to Ghana today, said he has so far declared his assets four
times, at different times he has had cause to serve Nigeria in various
capacities.
“I recall that in 1975 when late
Murtala Mohammed became the Head of State, we were lined up - governors,
ministers, members of the Supreme Military Council. Officials of Ministry of
Justice were brought and every individual was made to declare his assets. All
Heads of States and Government, governors, ministers, permanent secretaries
have to declare their assets because it is a constitutional requirement.
I have declared my assets four
times. When I was governor in 1975, I declared. After being Minister of
Petroleum and as a member of Supreme Military Council, I declared. When I was
Head of State and now as a President, I have also declared" he told
journalist at his joint press conference with Ghanaian president John Mahama.
