Buharahi has Started like Jonathan- Sagay

Following his refusal to publicly
declare his assets, analysts say
president Muhammadu Buhari may
have started his tenure like his
predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan.

One of such analysts was
constitutional lawyer, Professor Itse Sagay, SAN, who averred that
Buhari’s public declaration of
assets is the first step towards
showing Nigerians his credibility.

“That is where credibility starts,”
he said
“I have no doubt that he will make
it public because that is where
credibility starts. That is where
Jonathan started losing credibility.

Sagay recalled that late Umar
Yar’Adua forced the immediate
past president to declare his assets in 2007, and he reluctantly did but did not give a damn when he became a man of his own and that
was where he started having issues
with Nigerians.

“So, Buhari has no choice, it is
absolute for himself and Osinbajo if change and credibility are going to be sustained. There is no other way out, so I expect in the next 24 hours or so that we would know what
their assets are.

“He should apply it to every other
appointee of his regime, not just
himself and Osinbajo, it is
compulsory and absolute,”
Vanguard quoted Sagay to have
said.
President Buhari was on Friday,
May 29, inaugurated as Nigeria’s
new leader for the next four years.
