The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has called for the investigation and persecution of former Minister of
Finance, Kemi Adeosun, following her resignation.
Buhari on Friday accepted
Adeosun’s resignation letter as Minister of Finance, replacing her with Zainab
Ahmed.
Adeosun had in her letter said
she resigned following allegation of forged NYSC certificate against her
Reacting, the national chairman
of the PDP, Secondus, while speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Friday, asked
Nigerians not to be deceived by the resignation.
According to him, Adeosun’s
resignation was even belated; asking why the President refused to fire the
minister until she willingly resigned on her own volition after the media
exposed her fake NYSC certificate.
He said the resignation of the
minister was due to pressure from Nigerians
Secondus said, “The resignation
is belated. Why did the President keep her all this while when the scandal
broke out?
“Why didn’t he, I mean the
President, asked that the woman be investigated and even suspended if he was
serious about the fight against corruption?
“We are aware of some lawyers
that mounted pressure on the Presidency before the woman was forced to resign.
The forced resignation was because of the 2019 presidential election, which we
all know the President will lose.
“But if the President is serious,
he should have asked the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to order the
prosecution of the minister and all those that helped her to procure the fake
NYSC discharge certificate.”
Secondus added that the war
against corruption by the President was a ruse, asking why the President had
refused to also order investigation into a fake West Africa Examination
Certificate being allegedly paraded by another presidential appointee.
