Just like "stealing is not corruption" from the stable of a famous drunken master.

Did he drink on your conception night? It is far better to be a drunken master than a lifeless vegetable!!!

The Nigerian presidency on Tuesday said that the case of the alleged certificate forgery of the Honourable Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun was not a corruption matter.

Mrs Adeosun was alleged to have forged a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate after an investigation by an online newspaper, Premium Times.

Professor Itse Sagay, chairman of Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) had said the minister should not be sacked because ‘she’s damn good’. He further claimed it is irrelevant if she didn’t do the mandatory youth service.

Femi Adesina, a presidential spokesman on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, stated that the case was not a corruption matter. He further noted that Professor Irtse Sagay’s comments were his personal opinion and not the stance of the President.

‘It was a personal comment, that is not the position of the Government and Professor Sagay has a right to his opinion.

“It will not be down the aisle of Professor Sagay to advise on that matter because it is not a corruption matter so to speak.”

Section 13 of the NYSC law prescribes punishment for anyone who absconds from the scheme or forges its certificates, while eligible Nigerians who skipped the service are liable to be sentenced to 12 months imprisonment and/or N2, 000 fine.

Section 13 (3) of the law also prescribes three-year jail term or option of N5, 000 fine for anyone who contravenes the provision of the law as is alleged Mrs Adeosun has done.

Subsection 4 of the same section also criminalises giving false information or illegally obtaining the agency’s certificate. It provides for up to a three-year jail term for such offenders.

Sources have claimed that the Presidency could be considering granting the minister clemency for the forgery case ‘in view of the great works she has done for government — bailing out the country from recession and stabilizing the economy.’

However legal practitioners have countered that, saying only after a conviction can anyone be granted a pardon.

How on earth did this moronic ninny become a lawyer? Goodness does not absorb anybody from the contravention of the law or decree.

Certificate forgery not corruption. Change is really here. Buharinomics. Lifelessness

It is unfortunate that some people hinging on tribal sentiment could actual put in a defense for Mrs kemi Adeosun on this certificate issue. It would have been better for Buhari and his government to remain silent than for a spoke person of the president to utter this comments. This is not about an individual, it is about the law. If the government overlooks this, on what moral stand can they punish others? yet we want to be like the advance world but won't do what those societies do. And for those saying common N5000 offence. They forgot that forgery is a criminal offence, and once a person is convicted and serves a jail term it becomes difficult for that person to hold or contest elective position in government. I wish Buhari and APC well.

So what is the difference between this administration and that of Jonathan that said stealing is not corruption?

In fact this administration is worst because it thrives on lies and deceit. It demonized PDP to get our votes,whereas they are the main Satan.

Lifeless Buhari is fighting corruption only against those in the opposition.... is that not also corruption?

Stupid people. How is it not a corruption matter? Why must she forge documents to become Minister at all costs? When there are millions in Nigeria who have original certificates and are even better qualified. This government is just as corrupt as the last one

still baffles me how young intellectuals such as yourself are supporting an old lifeless man as your leader.

Does it mean you have nothing to offer to your generation? If Buhari's generation were arselicking like you and your colleagues, he wouldn't be here.

Don't be a coward na. If u try to insult me u will be blocked. Ask your fellow wailers!
