Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state, in a recent statement has publicly stated his knowledge of the hidden assets of President Muhammau Buhari which he failed to publicly declare, giving Nigerians the impression that he is poor.

Fayose, who is unimpressed with the public assets declaration of the President, described the move as as a ploy to get “the applause of the gullible”.

The outspoken governor has threatened to expose the hidden assets at the slightest provocation by the members of the All Progressives Congress. This was contained in a message conveyed through his spokesman, Mr. Lere Olayinka on Wednesday, 9th of September.

The statement read in part:

“We know where everybody, including President Buhari’s wealth are hidden, and the APC should not provoke the governor to such an extent that he will begin to reveal their hidden assets.

“Nigerians demanded that President Buhari must declare his assets publicly because that was what the President promised when he was seeking the people’s votes.

“It was part of President Buhari’s electoral promises that his assets will be declared publicly and up till today, he has not done that.

We have only been told that the President, whom they said was poor to the extent that he had to take bank loan to buy his party’s nomination, is now the owner of a mini estate in Asokoro, Abuja that is worth over N30 billion.

“The APC should rather explain to Nigerians how a man they said had no houses anywhere apart from Daura and Kaduna suddenly became owner of houses and landed properties in Kano, Abuja and Port Harcourt.

“They should also tell Nigerians what happened when President Buhari headed Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) and why they lied to Nigerians that the president was poor, thereby obtaining Nigerians’ votes by trick.”‎
