One of the ways of ensuring transparency for anyone leaving a public office is to publicly state his assets, and this is what Buhari has done.
Former President, Muhammadu Buhari has submitted his assets declaration form, and the Code of Conduct Bureau acknowledged receipt of the form on Saturday.
The Senior Special Adviser (SSA) to the former President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, made this known on Saturday in a Twitter post.
He shared a photo of the acknowledgement slip from the CCB, where he revealed that Buhari had taken no loan and had no liabilities.
The acknowledgement slip was signed by the Chairman of the CCB, Isah Mohammed, and was dated May 31.
The declarant identification number on the slip was PRES:000004.
It was earlier reported that Buhari, on May 26, received copies of his assets declaration form at the State House, Abuja, before he handed over power to President Bola Tinubu on May 29.
The CCB had noted that all outgoing and newly-elected public officials had until May 29 to submit their asset declaration forms, after which verification of the assets would commence.

Shehu noted that in the completed declaration, Buhari’s moveable assets at home and abroad did not increase, but there was a “little” reduction in the number of the former president’s animals.
Garba also noted that Buhari maintained his only bank account with Union Bank.
