Details of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s asset declaration form have emerged.
The form was submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, in line with Chapter 6 of the constitution after his 8-year tenure as president of Nigeria.
The CCB today issued an acknowledgement receipt.
According to the completed declaration, Buhari’s movable assets did not increase at home in Nigeria or outside. He did not add new bank accounts outside the only one he had in Union Bank, Kaduna.
The form also revealed that the number of animals on his farm decreased slightly.
Recall that in 2015 when he was first elected president, Buhari declared that he had $150,000 (£100,000) in his account, in a move aimed at promoting transparency.
Below are the assets he declared in 2015:
- Five homes and two mud houses, as well as farms
- An orchard and a ranch with 270 head of cattle,
- 25 sheep, five horses and a variety of birds
- Shares in three firms
- Two undeveloped plots of lands
- He bought two cars from his savings
According to his political associates, Ex-President Buhari is known for his spartan lifestyle.
Apart from leading Nigeria twice, first as a military ruler and later as a democratic leader, Buhari served as the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund, a body created by the government of General Sani Abacha and funded from the revenue gotten from the oil and gas industry.
