President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aide, Garba Shehu, said
certificate forgery involving Kemi Adeosun, former Finance Minister, is worse
than Isa Ali Pantami’s views on terror groups.
Shehu made the remark on Friday when he appeared on Channels
TV.
Adeosun was forced to resign in 2018 after over her National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC) exemption certificate said to have been forged.
Pantami, the Communications Minister, expressed views in
support of Al-Qaeda and Taliban during his lectures in the 2000s.
The Islamic preacher explained his views had changed but a
there are calls for his resignation. The presidency, however, dismissed the
demand.
Shehu said in the case of Pantami, “you are probing the
thoughts, what is called ‘McCarthyism’; you search the inner recesses of the
minds of individuals, bring out things they have said or they are about to say
or you think they would say and use that against them.”
“If Pantami had forged certificate before coming into
office, the attitude would have been different”, he added.
