Former President Muhammadu Buhari submitted his assets declaration form to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) days after leaving office.
His spokesperson, Garba Shehu said the CCB acknowledged receipt of the president’s form on June 3. He noted that the asset declaration is in line with Chapter 6 of the Constitution.
Buhari in his assets declaration form noted that his movable assets did not increase, at home in Nigeria or outside and he also did not add new bank accounts outside the only one he had in Union Bank, Kaduna. The former President also took no loans and has no liability.
The former Nigerian leader however disclosed that his farm animals reduced as he gave out some as gifts while in office.
Shehu tweeted;
“FORMER PRESIDENT BUHARI SUBMITS ASSETS DECLARATION FORM, SHOWS ZERO DEBT.

The asset declaration form is a schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) and is mandatory for all elected, appointed, recruited and contracted public officers. All public officers are to declare their assets and liabilities on the assumption of office and at the end of their tenure. Declarants are required by law to state their assets/liability including that of their spouses who is not a public officer and children under 18 years of age and submit same to the bureau within 30 days of the receipt of the forms.
