#BBB NEWS| Buhari Blasts Akpabio, Others, Says Corrupt APC, PDP Members Must Face Trial

President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to claims by the 49-member Senate Caucus of ‎the Peoples Democratic Party which on Thursday kicked against the current administration’s war against corruption, claiming it was selective and lacked transparency and fairness.

In a statement Sunday night, Mr. Buhari described the claims by the Godwill Akpabio-led caucus as “false, baseless and totally unjustifiable”.

Mr. Akpabio and his colleagues had at a press conference in Abuja Thursday alleged that the administration’s anti-graft war was mainly targeted at opposition politicians.

“The [PDP] caucus is not happy with the current trend that seems to suggest that the war against corruption is selective and targeted at PDP stalwarts and states,” the group said at the briefing.

#BBB NEWS| President Buhari, VP Osinbajo's Assets To Be Released After Verification By CCB

Abuja, Nigeria, 6 June 2015: President Muhammadu Buhari says in fulfilment of one of their campaign promises, his declared assets and those of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will be released to the public upon the completion of their verification by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

It is hoped that this process will be completed before the expiry of the 100-day deadline within which they said they would do this.

The Senior Special Assistant, SSA (Media and Publicity), Mal. Garba Shehu who announced this in a statement on behalf of the President on Saturday, 6 June, said "the duly completed forms by both the President and the Vice President were submitted to the CCB on March 28th, a clear day ahead of their inauguration."

He said this statement was warranted by the need to clarify some suggestions that the President and the Vice-President may not, after all, declare their assets publicly.

#BBB NEWS| Nigeria’s President-elect, Muhammad Buhari Returns From UK Trip [PHOTOS]

Nigeria’s president-elect, Muhammad Buhari returned to Nigeria early today in time to attend the beginning of handing over ceremonies in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

Buhari left Nigeria abruptly last week on a British Airways flight with Diezani Allison-Madueke, a controversial minister in the outgoing regime of President Goodluck Jonathan considered to be highly corrupt.

 Party officials told Saharareporters last week that the abrupt trip caught them unawares, however, family sources stated Buhari had scheduled the trip as a way of taking a short break before he takes over the reigns of power on Friday.

Buhari arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at exactly 5:25am accompanied by a former civilian president, Shehu Shagari and his daughter, Zahra.
