NYSC Certificat­e: Hold Adeosun’s Accusers to Account, Afenifere Urges Buhari

-

The United States of America and Europe Chapters of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisati­on, Afenifere, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to bring to book the accusers of a former Minister for Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, who was accused of certificat­e forgery.

A Federal High Court in Abuja, last week, ruled in the former minister’s favour, saying NYSC certificat­e was not mandatory for appointmen­t into political office in the country.

In a statement jointly issued by Mr. Babatunde Shinaba and Dr. Durojaiye Akindurire, the chairman of Europe and USA chapters, respective­ly, the group said there was a need for the Presidency to question those who accused the former minister of forgery.

In the statement, the group commended the judiciary for the court ruling, which vindicated the former minister, insisting that Adeosun should be celebrated rather than persecuted
