The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) has petitioned the Inspector General of Police to investigate the alleged forging of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s signature and the seal of the federal republic of Nigeria within seven days.

According to a letter the CNPP sent to Mr. Ogbonnaya Onovo through its lawyer, Femi Falana, the Nigeria Police have until Monday next week to commence the probe or they (the CNPP) will take the matter to the Federal High Court to force the police to carry out “its statutory duty”.

The group is claiming that the president’s signature and the seal of the federal republic of Nigeria used in the authentication of the 2009 supplementary budget were forged.

In the petition, the coalition of opposition parties said that following last week’s announcement by government officials that Mr. Yar’adua had signed the 2009 Supplementary Appropriation Bill on his sick bed at the King Faisal Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, it took steps to verify the claim.

“To our utter dismay we have confirmed that the signature of the President and the Seal of the Federal Republic of Nigeria were forged by some persons in the Presidency,” the petition read in part.

The petition told Mr. Onovo that “it has also been reported by some media organizations that the alleged signing of the 2009 supplementary budget by the president is untrue.

“You will no doubt agree with us that if this particular allegation of the forgery of the signature of the President and the seal of the Government of the Federation is not unraveled the perpetrators may be encouraged to engage in the fraudulent manipulation of other vital documents with dire consequences on the integrity of governance and national security of the country,” the CNPP wrote.

The petition urged Mr. Onovo to “use your good office to set the engine in motion for the investigation and prosecution of those who carried out the nefarious act.”

Nation of forgery and fraudsters. Even the signature and seal of office of the President is forged (in Oluwole).

Now, they are shouting that USA has put Nigeria or terror list, why not, when our leaders are terrorising us in diferent ways.

There are serious doubts as to the authenticity of the signature of the President on money bill, and it was alledge that interested parties forged this signature.

Why is it difficult for avoidance of doubt to ensure that there were Press and some ministers present during the signing, is this YAR AFAILURES fathers private business or documents.

We are a nation of jokes and comedy, and that is why NASS is diverting attention to 7 days noisy ultimatum to the USA JUST TO COVER A DEAD BUT NOT BURIED INCOMPETENT , UNFIT PRESIDENT. ExecuthThieves and legislathieves will go to any lenght in this country to perpetrate there dubious busness

OLUWOLE BOYS CHARGED N1,500.00 FOR THE FORGERY NOT KNOWING IT WAS A FEDERAL GOVT. PROJECT.

This is indeed a very sad news at this moment. haba!

How are we ever to be taken serious when all the nonsense in the world happens here,when other countries are busy launching rockets and satellites into orbit we still remain Kings of evil and wrong doing,with this rubbish,how do you blame somebody who gets a job with a fake certificate or gets into a university with fake waec?

And it has reached BBC .

Later people wonder why the country is not being taken seriously.

The drama is becoming more interesting. Very soon our politicians will now start winning oscar awards for this interesting movie (titled Yaradua the ghost Leader Part 2) Very soon they will forge (Clone) Mr. President himself. I can't wait to see the end of the movie as the plot thickens.

We can all see that the ruling party (PDP) never have good intention for this country. why would somebody (clique) forge the president signature, for the president its very risk for him not to expose whoever did it because tomorrow he/she we even forge the signature again to implicate him. They don't need any investigation at all reason, what they need to do is to get whoever submitted the signed documents to the Senate he will tell us who give him the documents, there will would have known where and what went wrong

We all know it except the perpetrators who are deluding themselves. This is indeed a sad moment for Nigeria and Nigerians. We need God more than ever before to heal our land and put a stop to the shenanigan.

A sad chapter in Nigeria's  history

Enemies of their own people and humanity

it is still only an allegation from the toothless opposition parties.
guys make una chill

Tell me how they expect Obama to remove our name for list of interest. I think at this rate it will enter no fly list

@hbrednic,
Allegation ke? O boy go chop. Hunger dey worry you.

Heheheehe, I laugh in Guantanamo!!

Nawao this is hilarious, Nigerian be happy, Nigerian leaders are very good actors Nollywood should consider given them award as the best actors of the year.do you think it's easy to act this type of movie? noting du u

Nigeria jagajaga - Edris Abdulkarim truly saw it coming. more wahala da come o

so very Pathetic,

Cnpp is an association of toothless oppositions bulldogs.why are they making noise now when there is a constitutional crisis? They should bury their heads in shame for not being able to form a formidable opposition to topple the ruling party.who cares if the signature is forged,is that the immediate problem facing us as a nation?

For how long shall we allow this Cabal of a party - PDP to continue to rape Our Psyche, Democracy and the Nation at large. It was high time we start to cannonize the likes of Abacha, if we all should stand aloof and watch this party drag us a century behind. We should as a matter of patriotism rise against these lying thieves and demand as a nation a visit of patriots to this Hospital if it at all existed.

THE NORTH AND THE POWER THAT BE ARE NOT READY FOR POWER TO SHIFT TO OTHER REGION.SO, NAIRALAND MATE I WILL NOT BE SUPRISE IF WE WERE TOLD DAT YAR'DEAD IS COMING 2 NIGERIA 2MOROW.
"BEWARE" WATCH OUT FOR D RETURN OF CLONE YAR'ADUA. WHO KNOWS D MAN MIGTH VE DIED AND THEY ARE JUST DECIEVING US. GOD PURNISH DEM.

This is the problem we have in Nigeria . A totally impotent and clueless opposition to the federal Government !!! Rather than the CNPP , if it were a strong opposition party , thinking of ways to galvanise public awareness that can usher in a people revolution to oust this criminal Government and its octopus-like control of Nigeria , they are busy fruitlessly appealing to another compromised servant  of this Government (IG of Police) for help !!!! Pigs will fly before Onovo take up this invitation against those who have made him rich and relevant . Empty noisemaking from the CNPP when they know what needs to be done.

The office of IG of the police force has not been impartial and/or independent for a long time in Nigeria . For the CNPP to pretend otherwise means they like the sound of their own voice more than they prefer action that will actually improve our pathetic situation.

This is not new, them forge Mr Obasanjo signature into new Bill in 2006.

anyway, what more else can happen to Naija??
