We’ve been made to believe that President Muhammadu Buhari, despite having N30m in the bank, is not as rich as some local government councillors in Lagos state.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State, Pastor Bankole Oluwajana, made this claim, in reaction to the assets declared by the President.
Oluwajana, made the bold allegation during an interview with Punch Newspapers.
While describing President Buhari as a decent and honest man, he said, “The asset declaration is a good development.
“He has lived up to his promise. It is good that he has done this before appointing ministers because now that he has raised the standard, the ministers must follow suit.
“We are amazed that the President has only N30m in cash despite being a former Head of State, Minister of Petroleum and Chairman, Petroleum Trust Fund. He has mud houses and some plots of land.
“Yemi Osinbajo had a highly successful legal practice and I am surprised that is all he has. Buhari has just N30m. Some councillors in some states, especially Lagos, have far more than that. People who have accumulated so much money should be ashamed of themselves especially those getting money through deceitful means.”
