Kemi Adeosun, the minister of
finance, resigned her appointment so as not to be a baggage to President
Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid, her associates revealed.
Daily Trust broke the news of her
resignation on Friday following a report by Premium Times that she presented a
forged NYSC exemption certificate as part of her credentials.
But we learnt that she was
still working in her office as at noon on Friday, casting doubts on her
resignation.
However, two of her close
associates revaled that she “toed the path of honour by choosing to step
down so that her NYSC issue will not be used against the president and the
party” in the 2019 electioneering.
“Posterity will judge her for
going the honourable thing by resigning,” one of the associates said.
The presidency is yet to
officially confirm her resignation.
Calls to her spokesperson rang
out.
Adeosun graduated from the
Polytechnic of East London in 1989, at 22. According to her curriculum vitae,
she was born in March 1967.
Nigerians who graduate after 30
years of age get exempted from NYSC.
NYSC certificate is a requirement
for government and private sector jobs in Nigeria.
