Presidential candidate of the KOWA Party in the 2015 election Prof. Oluremi Sonaiya, has described the public declaration of assets by President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yomi Osinbajo as honourable.

In an interview in Lagos, Sonaiya said that the President had kept to his earlier promise to publicly declare his assets.

“President Buhari promised he would publicly declare his assets, so it is good he has done it.

“Now that he has set the example, all those who work with him will have to follow suit,” she said.

Also commending President Buhari, the Coordinator, Credible Alternative Alliance, Dr Damian Ogbonna said: “Good first step, we now await vetting.

“Let us hope that he will require his appointees as well as other elected officials to follow suit,” he added.

The President of the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, Mallam Yerima Shettima, also lauded Mr President’s action. “Indeed it is a good development and we expect other political office holders to queue in and use their discretion to do it right.

“By so doing, we will be able to access them throughout their tenure,” Shettima said.
