Photograph of Senator Dino Melaye’s NYSC days has attracted various reactions from Nigerians.
Melaye had uploaded an image while carrying out his mandatory service with other ABU graduates. He was spotted on blue shorts. This is to further justify that he graduated from the ABU.
Reports have emerged during the week that the outspoken Senator did not graduate from the department of Geography of the Ahmadu Bello University, ABU, Zaria.
Following the fake certificate scandal, Melaye has turned himself in for investigation.
But to further clear the doubts of his accusers, the Senator shared photos of him and his mates, taken during their service year, in 1999.
In the picture shared on his Twitter account, Melaye was pictured putting n a blue shorts, while his mates put on the official white shorts, for NYSC.
However some Nigerians on Social Media didn’t find his dress code acceptable, especially that he has been championing the calls that customs boss, Hammed Ali appears before the senate in uniform.
While some Nigerians wondered what courage Melaye had to demand that the Comptroller General of Customs, Hammed Ali appears in corporate official uniform when he (Dino) has not been patriotic, even right from his NYSC days, others believe that the image was just a group picture and that the senator must not be on the compulsory NYSC outfit.
A social Media user, @koreleaminu believes the image alone is not enough to convinced Nigerians that the senator actually graduated from the University, he wrote, “This evidence is not enough to exonerate you, better show your certificate.”
@mukhtary wrote, “And you open your mouth to tell customs DG, Hammed Ali to wear uniform when you have been deviant from day one.”
Another User, @MBarisi, however, noted that the image is just a group picture where a corps member is not expected to appear kitted. He wrote, “For those who are just ranting, that’s a group picture. Not compulsory you must be fully kitted.”Certificate scandal: Nigerians react to Dino Melaye’s NYSC image

I have my doubts about this picture. 1. Looking very closely @ the people in the picture, they are all very much younger than Melaye. 2. He's clearly not one of them, he could just happen to be around on a visit or to play football when he joined the group photograph. 3. The picture is probably Photoshopped.
ReplyDeleteLet him point out & gives us names of @ least 5 of the guys, who can also testify to him being part of them. 4. Let him post his call up letter. Thanks
yeye anonymous 7:24 fool are u sure the device u using to type this rubbish belong s to you....the man has a cert and even an NYsc pic ,buhari that has no cert and lied abt it ,wht did u do or say abt that one,
ReplyDeleteBuhari's case is different.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, what if it was the same forged certificate that he used to enrol for NYSC? Let ABU issue a disclaimer. Let the department that supposedly issued his letter of orientation say something. It makes no sense for them to keep quiet.
Anonymous 7:32, address yourself to the issue. What has Buhari got to do with this? Dino Malaye said he served in Kaduna, the same state where his University is located, so he could have visited them and out of yearnings to be part of them, he joined them in a group photo. So, this photo, in my mind, is not proof enough to vindicate Malaye.
