Social media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, has said that Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, followed in the footsteps of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in declaring his assets.
The governor in a statement by his spokesman, Taiwo Adisa, late Monday made public his assets which include landed property (developed and undeveloped), household items, shares, and cash worth N48 billion.
The statement showed that Mr Makinde owns nine buildings in Nigeria, two in the United States of America and one in South Africa.
Makinde’s action has set social media ablaze, with many calling on Mr Buhari and other politicians to do likewise.
Mrs Onochie, in a tweet on Tuesday, said Makinde followed in what Buhari and Osinbajo did in 2015.
“Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has published his asset declaration document, which shows he has in excess of ₦48 billion in both cash and properties.
“Although its not compulsory to publish it, he’s following in the footsteps of @MBuhari and @ProfOsinbajo as they did in 2015,” she said.
