The Peoples Democratic Party doesn’t believe the content of the assets declared by President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
The party therefore requested that the assets forms submitted by the pair to the Code of Conduct Bureau, be made public.
In response, the President and Vice President, stated that the Code of Conduct Bureau is still verifying their assets forms.
Special Assistant to the President on Media, Garba Shehu, said this on Friday, via a text message sent to Punch Newspapers.
He said: “The contents of forms as submitted by the President and the Vice President are, as we said in that statement, still being vetted and whenever the process is complete, they will be made public.
“PDP doesn’t have shame, neither does it have conscience.
“If the officials did, they would have pressured their leaders, meaning President Goodluck Jonathan and VP Namadi Sambo, to declare their assets on leaving office as the law requires.
“Nigerians haven’t forgotten that against all entreaties, the then President and his deputy adamantly refused to make any form of disclosure regarding their assets. Now that they are out, they are behaving as if the law does not exist. Is that the party to question this unprecedented step our leaders have taken?
“They have lost all moral right to pontificate for anyone on matters of probity and accountability.
