Bishop, Presidency disagree over MBuhari’s assets declaration. The word corruption is too harsh and so we have softened it. Its synonymns are any of the following words: Chop, Egunje, Dash, Family Support, Kayan Aiki-Backhand, Underhand, Padding
This question was a topic for argument between Catholic Archbishop of Sokoto Hassan Kukah and the Presidential Adviser on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina. It was at a book presentation by Mrs Farida Waziri, a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Abuja on Tuesday.
“Two, people have asked, how is it that the President used Justice Onnoghen’s asset declaration form to prove his corruption and proceeded to sack him, yet the President himself has not publicly declared his own assets as he promised during his campaigns? Very often, people fear that they do not wish to ruffle feathers, but the absence of the records of their experiences means that in future, the birds will not even have any feathers at all.
This question may not have an answer but I approach the theme of corruption not from the political point of view scoring but as an academic exercise to which we must all subscribe so as to avoid the political pitfalls of irredeemable sentimentalism. But Adesina, before discharging his assignment as the book reviewer, denied that the President promised to make public declaration of his assets.
The President said: “We must know that corruption is a major challenge of governance and development, which we must all seek to eliminate from our system.
