VIDEO: Buhari never said he will publish assets - Adesina

Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman on media and publicity to Buhari says in an interview with Kayode Ogundamisi, a social commentator that never a time did president Muhammadu Buhari promise to declare his assets publicly.

Here's what Adesina had to share with Ogundamisi.

''You need to get his words right, go and check all that the president said during the campaign, in no place would you see it attributed to him as a person,'' he said. ''But then there is a document by his party, the All Progressives Congress, saying he would declare publicly, so we need to set that right, it’s a declaration by his party. Now what does the law require? The law requires public officers to declare their assets; he has done that. But his party has a document that says he would do it publicly. There is a procedure for that, and the procedure is that you first declare, code of conduct (bureau) would verify and after that, if you want to make it public, the onus lies on you to say release. The procedure has to be followed. He has declared, and it is deposited with the code of conduct bureau and they need to verify. Let’s come to that time when code of conduct would say we have completed verification.''
