Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari and his deputy, Prof Yemi Osinbajo have secretly declared their assets.
The declaration was made to the Code of Conduct Bureau as required by the Constitution. Garba Shehu in a statement on Saturday, said the President and Vice President submitted their assets declaration forms separately on Thursday.
He said, ''By declaring their assets, President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo may have not only fulfilled the requirements of the Nigerian Constitution, but also fulfilled the first of their many campaign promises.
''While seeking election into the highest office in the land, the President had promised Nigerians that he would publicly declare his assets as soon as he took over government''.
He added that Buhari’s declarant identity was given as: President: 000001/2015.
Buhari's declaration of asset makes him the second Nigerian to toe that path. Goodluck Jonathan had in 2012 to the the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
