The news was confirmed in a press statement released by Special Adviser to the President, Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
ThisDay reports that the remarks were made during a press conference in Ghana when Buhari was visiting the country on Monday.
He said, “After I was sworn in, I said I would have my cabinet in September. I expect that Nigerians should ask me questions after the 30th of September if I do not do so.”
Speaking about his declaration of assets, Buhari stated:
I recall that in 1975 when late Murtala Mohammed became the head of state, we were lined up – governors, ministers, members of the Supreme Military Council. Officials of the Ministry of Justice were brought and every individual was made to declare his assets.
All heads of states and government, governors, ministers, permanent secretaries have to declare their assets because it is a constitutional requirement.
I have declared my assets four times. When I was governor in 1975, I declared. After being made Minister of Petroleum and as a member of Supreme Military Council, I declared. When I was head of state and now as a president, I have also declared.”
