President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo are yet to appear at the office of the Code of Conduct Bureau for verification of their assets, hence the delay in making it public.

While the Presidency insists that details of their declared assets would not be made public until CCB completes the verification, the bureau blames President Buhari and VP Osinbajo for delaying the process.

The Chairman of the CCB, Sam Saba, has revealed that both Buhari and Osinbajo had failed to show up for the verification exercise.

According to him, the verification of the assets declared by a public officer involves two stages, which are conference and field verification.

During the verification, the pair are expected to present documents such as statements of bank accounts, receipts and evidence of vehicle registration relating to the declared assets before a committee inaugurated by the bureau.

After the verification has been completed, the officers of the bureau and the two leaders will then agree on a convenient date when the CCB’s committee will visit the locations of the assets for physical inspection.

Saba however, says that none of the two stages of verification had commenced by the President and the Vice President.

He added that the verification would commence “any moment from now. We are waiting for when it is convenient for Mr. President and his Vice for us to go and do it.”
