Fake Certificate: Don’t cover up for Adeosun, PDP warns NYSC

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned the management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) not to allow the Presidency to coerce it into covering up the NYSC certificate forgery case against the Minister of Finance, Mrs.
Kemi Adeosun.
The party in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said Adeosun alleged forgery of her NYSC Exemption Certificate, must not be distorted or pompously covered up in the disguise of investigation The PDP expressed concern over delay in the simple process of matching the serial numbering, date and authorizing signature on Mrs.
Adeosun’s certificate to establish its veracity or otherwise.
The raised alarm over alleged undue intervention of the Presidency by mounting pressure on the NYSC to cover up for the minister, which the party claimed are already in the public domain.
Accordingly, it urged the NYSC management to take cognisance of the fact that its reputation is highly at stake as Nigerians are waiting to see if it would cave in to pressure and trade off its integrity.
“It is instructive for NYSC to note that all issues in the news report that Mrs.
Adeosun forged her NYSC Exemption Certificate as well as reports that the Presidency is mounting pressure on NYSC to cover up for the minister are already in the public domain.
“Moreover, Nigerians are closely monitoring this issue and the public is already aware of pressure on the NYSC leadership to announce a misplacement of relevant files and other excuses to achieve a dead end in the investigation.
“The NYSC must, therefore, know that its reputation is highly at stake as Nigerians are already agitated over the questionable delay by the Corps in coming out with an answer on a direct issue that requires a simple computer or even manual file check at its headquarters.
“Indeed, a simple process of matching the serial numbering, date and authorizing signature on Mrs.
Adeosun’s certificate does not require a lengthy investigation or the current shenanigan going on at the NYSC headquarters”, it said adding that any attempt to cover up will invoke the wrath of Nigerians and irredeemably rubbish the integrity and respect the Corps has earned over the years
