Ahead of Monday’s inauguration, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu to make public his assets.

SERAP made the demand on Sunday in a statement by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare.

The group called on the incoming administration to walk the talk concerning its electoral promises.

SERAP added that the incoming government should prioritise the rule of law, media freedom, and efforts to curb corruption.

“If your election is upheld by the judiciary, your government can use transparency in asset declarations as a means of promoting public accountability and ending systemic corruption in the country,” SERAP stated.

President Muhammadu Buhari will hand over the mantle of leadership to Tinubu on Monday, May 29, 2023, after completing his eight-year tenure.
