Adeosun’s certificate saga, affront on Yoruba – Odudua youth

The Oduduwa Development Initiatives (ODI) has risen in defence of the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, saying “the forgery allegation against the minister is an affront on the Yoruba race.” Addressing a world press conference yesterday in Abuja, President of the group, Mr Olasumbo Akinyele, said they would not tolerate any attempt by any group or persons to bring to disrepute “our sister’s hard earned reputation.” Akinyele said: “It is a pity that some persons beclouded with ethnic judgment, treachery, and a high disposition to pulling down any person perceived to be a stumbling block to their despotic agenda, are at it again with the sole aim of dragging the person of Kemi Adeosun to disrepute.
“The Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, is a beloved daughter of Yoruba land that has proven the worth of her experience, which is visible in the way she has manned the economy that was collapsing until her appointment.
She is a woman of impeccable ability, outstanding influence and a woman desirous of uprightness.
“Having painstakingly studied the media blackmail and uncomplimentary comments on Kemi Adeosun, we considered it pertinent to make our position known to the Nigerian populace that the Oduduwa Development Initiatives will not tolerate any attempt by any group or persons to bring to disrepute our sisters hard earned reputation,” Akinyele said.
He condemned what he called “sinister move to ridicule Adeosun”, saying “she is also not guilty to have stayed back after her studies as long as the reasons for that action are reasonable and justifiable.”
