Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, have
declared their asset.
A statement by the Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the
President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu said “the documents
submitted to the CCB, which officials say are still being vetted and will soon be
made public, show that prior to being sworn in on May 29, President Buhari had
less than N30 million to his name. He also had only one bank account, with the
Union Bank. President Buhari had no foreign account, no factory and no
enterprises. He also had no registered company and no oil wells”, the statement
said.
The statement further added that “the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo
(SAN), who had been a successful lawyer before his foray into politics declared
a bank balance of about N94 million and 900,000 United States Dollars in his
bank accounts”.
It added that President Buhari “had shares in Berger Paints, Union Bank and
Skye Bank”.
The documents also revealed that “President Buhari had a total of five homes,
and two mud houses in Daura. He had two homes in Kaduna, one each in Kano,
Daura and in Abuja. One of the mud houses in Daura was inherited from his
late older sister, another from his late father. He borrowed money from the old
Barclays Bank to build two of his homes.
“President Buhari also has two undeveloped plots of land, one in Kano and the
other in Port Harcourt. He is still trying to trace the location of the Port
Harcourt land.
“In addition to the homes in Daura, he has farms, an orchard and a ranch. The
total number of his holdings in the farm include 270 heads of cattle, 25 sheep,
five horses, a variety of birds and a number of economic trees”.
The documents also showed that the retired General “uses a number of cars,
two of which he bought from his savings and the others supplied to him by the
federal government in his capacity as former Head of State. The rest were
donated to him by well-wishers after his jeep was damaged in a Boko Haram
bomb attack on his convoy in July 2014.
The same forms, according to Mr Shehu, notes that ” Vice-President, Professor
Yemi Osinbajo’s asset declaration include his 4-bedroom residence at Victoria
