The leading opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Saturday, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, over alleged forgery of her National Youths Service Corps, NYSC, certificate.
The party also called for her trial, warning the president not to allow any cover up.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, the party said with the alleged certificate forgery, it had been vindicated that the Presidency had been covering up sharp practices under it.
“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,” PDP said.
The party called for an open inquest into the handling, with Adeosun, of all the nation’s depleted foreign financial instruments, including the Excess Crude Account, from which funds were allegedly taken without the approval of the National Assembly.
The party also called for an inquest into the borrowing of over N10tn in 30 months.
