A Second Republic lawmaker,
Junaid Mohammed on Friday reacted to the resignation of the Minister of
Finance, Kemi Adeosun.
Adeosun had on Friday reportedly
resigned her appointment as Minister of Finance.
Her resignation from President
Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet may not be unconnected with her alleged forgery of
National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, certificate.
But speaking, the
former lawmaker commended the Minister for her decision.
Mohammed, however, warned that
the move was not enough to redeem the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government
ahead of the 2019 elections.
He noted that anyone who commits
any “infraction” in politics must be made to face the consequences.
According to Mohammed, “It’s good
news and it means that the nation under the Buhari’s Presidency is beginning to
recover and I must say this, the media in the case of Adesoun has played a very
honourable role. They stuck d to their role and the media as the moral
conscience of the country insisted that what is right must be seen to be right
and what is wrong must be seen to be wrong and those people who committed
infractions when they are in positions of authority who are supposed to be seen
as role models must behave reasonably no matter his or her position.
“No matter the position, when
they commit this kind of outrageous offence, they must be made to face the
consequences.
“I wish to remind Nigerians that
in politics, doing wrong implies people will have to pay for what they did
wrong, if you do something criminal, you must pay for your criminality and if
you abuse public office, the least you can do is that you resign.
“I’m sure she was forced to
resign and for the first time in this government, something has been done
right.”
On Adeosun’s resignation been a
move by the Buhari’s government to redeem its image ahead of the 2019 election,
Mohammed said, “It may be that, but I have some news for Buhari himself and the
government, this is not enough to redeem Buhari and his government.”
