Why Buhari won’t act on Adeosun’s certificate ‘scandal’ – Lai

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s integrity remains intact, in spite of the allegation of certificate forgery against his Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun.
Mr Mohammed said this yesterday when he paid an official visit to the Corporate Headquarters of The Authority Newspaper, in Abuja.
Responding to a question from the editorial management of the paper on why Buhari was still keeping Mrs Adeosun in his cabinet, Mohammed said the case was still under investigation.
He said the appropriate agencies were still investigating the allegation against the finance minister and should be allowed to do their jobs.
Mrs Adeosun was alleged to have forged a National Youth Service Corps exemption certificate.
“Until when an allegation is proven, you do not expect the President to act.
“The appropriate agencies have spoken and they say they are investigating.
The only thing we can do is to wait.
“By saying that the minister should resign or be sacked while investigation is still ongoing may also not be feasible in our clime because of the level of false accusations.
“How many times have they accused me of embezzlement? Even recently, they said my driver jumped out of the car, abandoned me and decamped to PDP.
“People even made the allegation that President Buhari did not have certificate.’ (NAN)
