The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged President Buhari to sack, arrest and arraign his minister of finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun for alleged criminal forgery of her NYSC certificate.
The party in a recently released statement urged the President not to provide cover for the Minister.
According to Premium Times, Kemi Adeosun parades a purported NYSC exemption certificate, which was issued in September 2009, granting her exemption from the mandatory service on account of age, this has since drawn outrage from many quarters, with the PDP being one of the latest to react.
Read the full press statement from PDP below;
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
charged President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately sack, arrest and
arraign his minister of finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun for alleged criminal
forgery of her NYSC certificate.
PDP urges President Buhari not to provide
a cover for Adeosun in the character of his Presidency whenever close
allies or agents are found wanting on issues of corruption.
The party said the revelation vindicates
its stand that the Buhari Presidency is a haven of fraudsters, common
thieves and persons of questionable character, adding that the recent
revelation has cast a full-length dark shadow on the overall integrity
of his administration.
The world can now see how the Buhari
Presidency has been concealing sharp practices under it. We can now see
why there is humongous corruption under President Buhari’s watch and why
Mr. President has refused to take any concrete steps to check the
sleazes in his administrations.
Perhaps such ‘artful dodgers’ were
deliberately hired and placed in revenue related agencies to perfect the
pilfering of our common patrimony for interests in the Buhari
Presidency.
The PDP challenges President Buhari to
prove himself a man of integrity by allowing an open system-wide and
independent inquest into all alleged corrupt practices in his
presidency.
We challenge President Buhari to be bold
to allow an open independent inquest into the exact figures amounting to
the trillions of naira oil revenue earned by the nation in the last
three years and how he had spent same with Mrs. Adeosun as minister of
finance.
Mr. President should also allow an open
inquest into his handling, with Mrs Adeosun, of all our depleted foreign
financial instruments, including the Excess Crude Account (ECA), from
which funds were taken without recourse to the National Assembly.
President Buhari should also allow an
inquest into his administration’s borrowing of over N10 trillion in 30
months, with Mrs. Adeosun as minister of finance and the purposes for
which the money was used.
Furthermore, we challenge President
Buhari to allow an inquest into the leaked memo at the Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) showing N9 trillion corrupt oil contracts
as well as the alleged stealing of N1.1 trillion worth of crude oil, all
in a sector under his direct purview as minister of Petroleum.
We also demand for an open investigation
into the N18 billion Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) intervention
fund and the N10 billion National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) alleged
to have been stolen from the Treasury Single Account (TSA) by APC
officials and Presidency cabal.
Finally, the PDP urges Nigerians to note
the colossal corruption under President Buhari’s watch and hold him
directly responsible for all the calamities that have befallen our
nation in the last three years.
