Femi Falana has asked President Buhari and Vice president, Yemi Osinbajo to publicly declare their current assets.

 

This was contained a statement signed by FALANA and circulated by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project.

 

It will be recalled that SERAP had demanded that Buhari, Osinbajo, and 36 state governors and their deputies publicly declare any updates on their asset declarations submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau.

 

Falana, in the statement today, faulted the President’s claim for not declaring his assets, saying it contradicted the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended), the Freedom of Information Act and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

 

But the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said President BUHARI is not under compulsion by any law, to declare his asset since his re-election in February 2019.

 

However, Constitutional Lawyer, Malachy Ugwummadu disagrees with the Presidential Spokesman.
