"YOU ARE YET TO DECLARE YOUR ASSETS"- PDP TO BUHARI AND OSINBANJO.

A statement by the PDP regarding the president's and vice president public declaration of assets.
Read their press statement below...
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) describes as “a deceptive
window-dressing to hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians” the
release, by an aide of the President, of a mere list of some
belongings of President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Prof.
Yemi Osinbajo, in place of the pledge made to Nigerians by Mr.
President as candidate of the APC on March 18, 2015, at exactly 5
pm.
The party recalled that the President in his own words had stated
to Nigerians that, “I pledge to publicly declare my assets and
liability and also encourage my political appointees to publicly
declare their assets and liability.”
The PDP however, observed that President Buhari and his vice
failed to produce copies of their declarations, detailing the exact
nature and value of respective assets.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, in a
statement on Friday said “the release of a mere list of belongings
falls short of credibility, transparency and anti-corruption
standards as well as exposes the proclivity of the present
administration for deception.”
“We have noted the release of a flimsy list of belongings of
President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
by the Presidency, who want such to pass as the public
declaration of assets as pledged by the President.
“Nigerians are not deceived by this poor attempt at window-
dressing designed by the Presidency to hoodwink the
unsuspecting populace in a desperate bid to shore up its
diminished image.
“We ask, is the resort to a mere list, instead of true copies of the
declaration not a ploy to give the Presidency a window for denial
in consonance with their widely observed inclination for flip
flopping, backtracking and brazen denials of their statements and
actions?
“All we want is credibility, integrity and sincerity of purpose. We
are not questioning how a President, who by December last year,
declared that he had only N1 million in his account, could
suddenly now list N30 million in the same bank account by May
29, and after an expensive campaign; we are not yet demanding
the public declaration of his assets in his wife’s name.
“We are not even applauding the multiplication of his cows from
150 to 250 in a space of three months, arising from his dual and
conflicting pronouncements on this issue
“What the PDP and discerning Nigerians demand is for Mr.
President to always stand by his words and pledge.
“Mr. President, this is a mere list of your belongings and not public
declaration of assets in fulfillment of your covenant with
Nigerians”

Chief Olisa Metuh
