Although it just became public on Friday, it is already “a few weeks” since President Muhammadu Buhari decided to let go of Kemi Adeosun as Minister of Finance, SaharaReporters understands.

Two sources close to the government told SaharaReporters on Friday that the UK-born Minister had resigned, but it has now emerged that it was the President who indeed “told Adeosun to go”.

Also, the sack was deliberately made public today to manage public backlash over the President’s decision to remove Matthew Seiyefa as Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) to make way for Yusuf Magaji Bichi. Seiyefa hails from Bayelsa State while Bichi is from Kano, prompting widespread condemnation about the concentration of the country’s security apparatus in the hands of northerners.

There were calls for Adeosun’s sacking after an investigation by Premium Times revealed that lawmakers had been blackmailing her into releasing funds, running into billions of naira, because they were aware she skipped the mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme and then forged an exemption certificate.

Seiyefa, however, was appointed DSS DG in acting capacity in August after then Acting President Yemi Osinbajo sacked Lawal Daura for ordering his men to lay siege to the National Assembly without receiving clearance from the presidency.

“We had got the information since 7am that Buhari had already fired Adeosun,” the government source said.

“But seeing the backlash from the public on the appointment of Bichi as DSS DG, which they had anticipated, they had to make Adeosun’s exit public. I can assure you that Buhari already decided to remove Adeosun before now; she was asked to resign some weeks ago — in August, in fact. The certificate was forged; there is no way to hide it, so to buy some credibility for the government, they just had to let her go.”

Lies

Who will replace Kemi now?

She did the right thing by resigning.

Kudos to premium times for investigative journalism. Premium Times should expose more of this, especially cases that involves money.

In advanced countries this is
normal and honourable thing to
do.... kudos to her.

Lies

From pit of hell

bullshit...bloody lies from the pit of Hell

Buhari the lifeless one with no WAEC Certificate told Adeosun to go? Is this the best LIE they can come up with? The same govt that defended her and claimed there's no iota of truth that Kemi forged her NYSC exemption cert? Bloody lying govt.

IT HAS BECOME CLEAR AS DAY THAT BUHARI WAS NOT IN SUPPORT OF LAWAL DAURA'S SACK AS DG DSS. A DEVELOPMENT THAT SHOWS THE ATTACK ON NATIONAL ASSEMBLY WAS DIRECTED AND OCHESTRATED BY THE PRESIDENCY.
What the useless govt never anticipated was Osimbajo, then acting President sacking of Daura after National Assembly fiasco.

NIGERIANS SHOULD USE THE SAME PRESSURE USED ON ADEOSUN TO DEMAND BUHARI'S IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION OVER HIS REPEATED FAILURE TO PRODUCE HIS WAEC CERTIFICATE.

She has done the honorable
thing by resigning her position.
We thank you for the job well
done during your reign as the
financial minister. I wish you well
in your future endeavors. God
bless you and God bless Nigeria

But it is not generating the kind of positive response they wanted. It's medicine after death.

Keep on deceiving yourself.
By the grace of God, we are going to change APC since the party has failed to change Nigeria.
APC Audacious Pessimistic Conjugate

If the government do the right
thing you folks must complain
have one thing or another to
condemn the government and if
it didn’t do you folks still be the
ones talking nonsense,that’s the
reason the politicians will
continue to loot you folks dry
because none of you is ready to
see the truth and support the
good ones that met well for the
people.

Zombies are masturbating Up there....

Kemi Adeosun resigning is not a
big deal, Buhari will give you
people another finance minister
from his clan or from Niger
Republic. Also World Bank and
IMF are ready to give you people
finance minister, your problem as
a nation has just been
compounded. Crazy people, crazy
nation.

All die na die. Whether Buhari ordered her to resign, or She resigned of her own volition. the main thing is that she has resigned.

After the government have said this;

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.
