by The Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity), Garba Shehu has said that latest by Thursday, the Federal Government will publish assets recovered from looters.
He said this when he appeared on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Monday, May 30th.
According to Shehu:
What he (President) said was that the Minister of Information will be making a pronouncement on this and this is going to happen when work resumes from Tuesday.
This is likely going to be out by Wednesday, or latest by Thursday. So nothing has changed from the position that there will be disclosure.
The President has given authorisation that these assets that have been taken back from those who took from the treasury be put out there. So my view is that nothing is lost.
On whether Buhari wasted the past year, Shehu said:
The President had focus, he knew what to do from the beginning. He identified the problems of this country, putting the security of the country on top of the heap.
He said repeatedly, ‘this country must be secured, there must be peace in this country for you to develop and manage it very well’.
And I think that he has done for this country what others had failed to do for four to five years in which they had allowed problems like Boko Haram to fester.
A street protest in Maiduguri had grown into a city-wide phenomenon, problem for neighbouring states and all of the Lake Chad, in fact a global phenomenon with the linkage to ISIS.
President Buhari within one year is about to bring Boko Haram to a closure. This is massive.
