Former governor of Kwara state, Senator Bukola Saraki, has stated that,it is not necessary for public office holders to declare their assets.He was reacting to the President-Elect, Muhammad Buhari’s promise that had political office holders in his administration would have to declare their assets.Saraki who is representing Kwara-central senatorial district said
“I don’t think it is declaration of assets that would make you less corrupt or more accountable,I think it is your own individual commitment to your party and leadership provided,.
“Leadership is very important because the leader leads by example. Honestly, things will change. Instead of sitting with the president to seek favour, you come home and sit down with your people so that you can have the better chance of winning election.There would be zero tolerance for corruption and because of the backdrop of that, you begin to see revenue coming up and you will have more money for infrastructural development.”
