President Muhammadu Buhari has charged the media to engage in investigative journalism instead of harassing him over his assets declaration.
He made this statement on Monday while on an official state visit to Ghana.
“I have declared my assets and all that I have four times, and you (the press) have the right to go and demand for my declaration. Instead, I am being harassed.
“In Nigeria, it is a constitutional issue and that is why I am blaming you gentlemen of the press. If you really want to do investigative journalism, you don’t have to worry me at this stage; I have declared my assets four times.
“When I was governor in 1975, I declared. After being 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 also declared,” Buhari stated.
He also said that since it was a constitutional issue, all “governors, ministers, permanent secretaries will have to declare their assets.”
