The Presidency on Monday said it
hopes the certificate forgery allegation against the Minister of Finance, Kemi
Adeosun, would soon be proven as false, disclosing that investigations are
still on, even after more than 60 days since the story broke.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s
spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said the allegations against a key member of the
administration were yet to be proven.
“The minister of information has
spoken on the matter. And a process is ongoing to address the allegations. When
that process is complete, Nigerians will know the outcome.
“Some people want a particular
outcome and because they are yet to see this outcome, they are not happy. Give
it (investigation) time. There is a process ongoing,” Shehu said during an
interview on AIT’s Kakaaki.
He said the Presidency would act
when it has all the facts.
“It’s an allegation. If it is
proven, you will see what will happen. The minister and the NYSC have spoken on
the matter,” he added.
When challenged on the length of
time the ‘investigation’ was taking, Shehu said: “It is not for me to decide
(the duration). I don’t have the full facts of the matter, so why the investigation
is not out, I don’t know. I hope there will be an early outcome.
“Don’t forget, these people (Mrs
Adeosun and other indicted officials), whose names are being dragged in the mud
have families and relatives. We hope their innocence will be established,” he
said.

"The allegation against a key member of the administration is yet to be proven". Well on what basis were Dasuki and other members of the opposition dragged and humiliated my the police? If evidence is what is needed to take action then Dasuki would be a free man. It's one rule (suspicion) for the opposition and another (hard fact) for the friends and party members of Baba. What annoys me the most is that Buhari's handlers actually believe Nigerians are fools. They are not.evem trying hard enough to come up with intelligent excuses for the obvious double standard fornthe Buhari administration
