President Muhammadu Buhari and his deputy, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, were on Tuesday asked to change the narrative about stolen assets in the country by publicly declaring their assets. Defending Buhari’s refusal to make assets public, presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, said no law compelled it. According to him, “all that SERAP is asking is for the Presidency, governors and their deputies to announce their asset declarations as submitted to the CCB. “This will end the secrecy that continues to surround asset declarations in Nigeria. “The Presidency has claimed that there is no law in Nigeria mandating President Buhari to declare his assets publicly.
