Nigerians on social media have
faulted presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, for claiming that the alleged
forgery of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate by the Minister of
Finance, Kemi Adeosun is not a corruption matter.
Recall that the
chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, Itse
Sagay had said that Adeosun should not be sacked because she is “brilliant”.
But Femi Adesina, a presidential
spokesman, speaking with Channels Tv countered Sagay’s comment, saying it was
his personal opinion and not the stance of the President.
He was quoted as saying, “It will
not be down the aisle of Professor Sagay to advise on that matter because it is
not a corruption matter so to speak.”
However, a cross-section
rubbished the claim, saying Femi Adesina statement shows a one-sided war
against corruption.
But reacting on Twitter,
@Duks_OG, ”Forgery is not corruption says Femi Adesina, That’s why we have the
president and Kemi Adeosun still stuck to their seats as leaders. Their own
corruption is cloaked and disguised in the best way to suit them.”
@Obaksolo, ”But truthfully,
forgery is not corruption. Open show of lifelessness. Heaven will intervene
like it happened during Abacha.”
@iamjimmygentle, ” Certificate
Forgery is not Corruption – Femi Adesina. A go-ahead nod from a lifeless
presidential aid that you all can now forge certificates and cut corners.
@Apadious1, ” I’m not mad at Femi
Adesina I know he is brilliant but when you defend a Government like this, you
are forced to become stupid. The Femi of before I respected but this Buhari
Femi. I lack words to describe the object he has become.
@Ekevanvictor ” How can you say
forgery is not corruption? What a lifeless assertion.”
@iamdanoras “Forgery Is Not
Corruption”- Femi Adesina on Channels. Is this the President’s position.”
@ELPhYnOmEnOn, ”So according to
Femi Adesina, Certificate Forgery by the Finance Minister isn’t a corruption
matter. I guess that explains the Lackluster attitude & silence of this
administration towards the issue.”
