NYSC DG LIED ON MBAH'S CERTIFICATE, SAYS PDP

*Accuses Agency of contempt of court, conspiracy, deceit, wilful misrepresentation of facts

The PDP, Enugu State, has faulted the claim by the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig Gen Yusha’u Dogara Ahmed, that he told the Governor-elect of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, that his discharge certificate was not issued by the NYSC.

The party, however, said his claim was in sync with the agency's conspiracy, deceit, and wilful misrepresentation of facts, which necessitated Mbah’s N20 Billion lawsuit against it.

It equally described as an irony a situation where the DG said he would not want to comment on the matter since it was in court, only to go ahead to not only deny knowledge of the lawsuit and consequent court order, but also to act in clear contempt of the court.

The Director of Communications and Spokesperson of the Enugu State PDP Campaign Council for the 2023 general elections, Barr. Nana Ogbodo, stated these at a press conference on Friday where he reacted to an interview by the NYSC DG on Arise News earlier in the day.

“We should have viewed with surprise the false claim by the NYSC DG, Brigadier-General Yushau’u Dogara Ahmed, on national television this morning. But he has not said anything new, as his statements were in sync with the continued conspiracy, deceit, and wilful misrepresentation of facts by the agency and its Director of Corps Certification, Mr. Ibrahim Muhammad, which necessitated Mbah’s N20 Billion lawsuit against the agency and Mr. Muhammad in the first place.

“The DG lied when he claimed that he told Mbah during a meeting in his office that the NYSC did not issue his certificate. The truth is that he told Mbah that the Director in question neither briefed nor cleared with him before issuing the letter dated February 1, 2023 disclaiming Dr. Mbah’s discharge certificate.

“He equally expressed surprise when Mbah showed him the letter by the NYSC national headquarters dated 7th May 2003 (reference number NYSC/DHQ/CM/27/20) to the State Director, Lagos, NYSC, re-mobilising him for the remaining part of his service year after a break, by the express and written permission of the agency, to complete Bar Part II (Bar Final).

“Excerpt from the re-mobilisation letter states: ‘I am directed to refer to your letter of 24th April, Reference No. LA/01/1532/T on the above subject matter and to request you to re-instate the corps member to continue his service year from where he stopped, with effect from May 2003’.

“It is noteworthy that the Directors and staff present at the meeting did not deny that the NYSC authored the letter re-mobilising Mbah, while his place of primary assignment, Udeh & Associates, Lagos, has not denied that it authored the letter reabsorbing him to complete the remaining months of his service year as well as the final clearance letter to enable him receive his NYSC discharge certificate at the end of his service.

“The DG actually told Dr. Mbah that he was barely three months in office at the time, but would resolve the matter with dispatch. But it is striking that the NYSC is yet to formally respond to Mbah’s petition since February 2, 2023. Instead, the NYSC, through its Director of Corps Certification, has continued to issue letters of disclaimer to various political interests in Enugu State, in clear contempt of a subsisting court judgment upholding the authenticity of his certificate and in relentless disparagement of his reputation”, the PDP stated.

The party wondered why Mbah would go through all the rigorous process to serve his fatherland only to end up forging a certificate, saying it was irrational to contemplate.

It underlined the fact that the final verdict on the genuineness or otherwise of Mbah’s NYSC certificate did not rest with the agency, and urged it to face the N20 Billion lawsuit in a court of law where the agency also has the right to subpoena other relevant agencies in the production and authentication of NYSC certificates to give evidence.

“NYSC discharge certificates are printed by the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company PLC. They have security features such as watermarks and serial numbers denoting the batches. We therefore challenge the NYSC to produce any other certificate in the series of Mbah’s certificate that has the same serial number as his.

“Meanwhile it is equally important to point out that the statement by the NYSC DG, Brigadier-General Ahmed is a clear contempt of a valid interim court order sequel to suit number FHC/ABJ/09/611/2023 restraining the agency and its Director of Corps Certification whether by themselves, their directors, officers, servants, legal representatives, counsel or any other person or persons howsoever described and connected, from issuing, publishing or continue to issue, publish disclaimer to the effect that Mbah’s NYSC discharge certificate was not issued by the agency pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit already filed.

“This should not be the way of a body established by law, NYSC cannot be above the law of the land”, the party concluded.

Our Stolen mandate must be returned. LP won Enugu state and that is a fact

Good one from Enugu State Pdp for the quick actions from them.

PDP has shot itself with an RPG.

NOW NYSC is lying. Why not post your certificate for us to see.

We will verify and know who is lying.

Nysc is not rocket science and you should have pictures or colleagues to vouch for you.
Or did you serve in Isolation.

All this people that refused to do NYSC then bought certificate. It is better to go for NYSC AND relocate to your father house than just not do it.

Lol.

Nysc na your mate

Say god

Who should we believe now
something tells me some nysc officials have their hands soiled in this.

Who is really telling lies now?

That's good to know

What will the NYSC gain by telling such a lie, nothing.

If NYSC says it is not authentic then it is not authentic

He should disclaim it with his NYSC photos

These guys should shut the hell up, Mbah has no NYSC certificate, if he served his records must surely be with NYSC, NYSC cannot accept to be the ones responsible for the fake certificate that his parading.

Last kick of a dying horse

One thing I do know is that the NYSC DG shouldn’t have any business in this matter, rather the appropriate department should’ve handled this

Ok

That Mbah guy manufactured his certificate in the backyard..

he's known to be fraudulent
especially his boss chimaroke
And his soon to be predicessor Ugwuanyi the worst Governor in Nigeria...

I noticed that both Enugu and Akwa Ibom bear the Name Mbah

Another Kemi Adeosun at play here.

NYSC tell u say this man no go service una dey argue.

Same man would come to court to testify against u.

E go hot for these PDP guys in Enugu.

PDP has lost Enugu state.

Evil politicians can do anything to attain power..
look at Tinubu today, he can dine with the devil if need be, to be called a president...

only to get there and embarrass himself and his generation.. Buhari case study.. his name now means failure in Nigerian dictionary..

But y all these lies. Anyway the one that concerns me is e llupee vs eye neck

Eye neck have torched the lion's tail

Any body that is against Obi on eye neck is the enemy of this country.


For the past years our tax money have not been accounted by eye neck.

They will cooked any result and give us we take it and feel it is normal. I believe ATIKU must have won one of the elections but because he didn't know how to hold them on their throat they get away with it.

But this man call Obi no try am.

If high neck escape this man next election they will sit up. Mark my word.

This action is for those that love this country. Things must right in this country.

This news is related to PDP watch how Obi dunce will tactically avoid this post since PDP is their real political party. They won't want to throws muds at their true party

do they expect NYSC to claim what is not theirs

if the NYSC certificate did not emanate from them, it did not emanate from them. Simple!

Beolly:

This news is related to PDP and you brought Obi, a member of LP, into it.
