Nigeria: Sack Adeosun Now for NYSC Certificate Forgery – PDP

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has called on President Buhari to immediately sack the Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun over the alleged NYSC certificate forgery.

Adeosun had recently been accused of not going through the mandatory one-year Youth Service Scheme and had, many years after graduating, forged a certificate of exemption.

Speaking on the issue, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, the National Publicity Secretary of the party called on the President not to provide cover for the embattled minister.

In a statement issued on Saturday, he said “The world can now see how the Buhari Presidency has been concealing sharp practices under it. We can now see why there is humongous corruption under President Buhari’s watch and why Mr. President has refused to take any concrete steps to check the sleazes in his administrations.

“Perhaps such ‘artful dodgers’ were deliberately hired and placed in revenue related agencies to perfect the pilfering of our common patrimony for interests in the Buhari Presidency.

“The PDP challenges President Buhari to prove himself a man of integrity by allowing an open system-wide and independent inquest into all alleged corrupt practices in his presidency.”

The Presidency has yet to respond to the issue.
