How will strong supporters of PMB on Nairaland justify the fact that PMB had not fired Shittu since?

Buhari till 2023 and if the south east play it's card well, they may have a shot at it and if not, south west will do the needful.
You mean we should support a murderous prince? Tufiakwa. Even if Buhari is fraudulently returned, SW can never smell that seat. In case you don't know, 2023 APC's ticket is South South's to lose and SE would never support SW 2023 claim and SW can NEVER do it alone.

Nigeria's Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, who was disqualified by APC from Oyo Governorship primaries, has stated that he won't be resigning any time soon.

According to Adebayo Shittu in an interview with Everest Amaefule, resigning will mean handing his defamers a smile which they never earned. Here are excerpts from the interview;

Looking at recent events, you took your party to court; it appears you are planning to defect. Are you planning to defect?

No, I will not defect. I have a divine bond with Mr. President, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). Even as a foundation member of the All Progressives Congress, there has been enough provocation for me to defect but my bond, I believe, is made in heaven with my leader and mentor – the person I am trying to imitate in terms of his incorruptibility, patriotism, and commitment to getting things done properly and in terms of respect for the rule of law. I will not defect. Even though other political parties have offered me carrots, inviting me to come and be their party’s candidate, I remain steadfast in the APC.

I believe that wherever injustice surfaces, it is part of our binding duty to fight it to a halt. You will recall that on few occasions when Mr. President did not get justice from the political field, he went to court even if he didn’t still get justice from the court at that time. He remained steadfast and at the end of the day, he got justice from the public who eventually voted for him in 2015 in such a way that left no person in doubt as to his victory.

If you are saying that the law does not require you to present NYSC certificate in order to contest an election, the law requires that you have it before you hold an office. So, if you are going to contest, is it not normal to assume that you shold hold one?

Holding an office is different from civil service office. With regards to political offices, you don’t have to have it. That is one. This is a matter that the court had already decided on in 1979 when I won election into the House of Assembly. My opponent at that time went to court to challenge my election and the court decided that I needed not to have an NYSC certificate of whatever colouration. And in any case, even if the court had not decided; it is the same provision of the law that guided participation in election in 1979 that still exists in the current constitution. Of course, these issues have to be submitted to the court. So, I don’t need to address them now at this stage. We will meet in court. We will find out where they got their own law from.

A lot people are also expecting that you should follow in the footsteps of your former colleague in the cabinet, Kemi Adeosun, instead of heaping a moral burden on the government.

Is my case the same as that of Kemi Adeosun? It is completely different. Kemi Adeosun, unfortunately, had someone procure for her a forged NYSC exemption certificate, which she didn’t need anyway. She didn’t need it. I have not presented any forged certificate. It is like light and darkness; you don’t compare the two.

So with these controversies, you don’t think you should resign and not burden the party.

There is no controversy. My traducers: I will not make them happy. I will not put smile on their faces. They will continue to lament and lament and lament and look at me climb up politically. So, as long as I am concerned, I don’t know where they got their story from; that the President was expecting me to resign. Resign for what? Did I commit a crime? I plead not guilty to such charge from any quarters.

Don't mind them sir. They erroneously believed that they can harass and force you out over NYSC certificate just the same way they harassed and scared the innocent young women away. And to be thinks that these morroons voted and supported a dropped-out to be become governor in Osun State

What about the serving dancing senator from the Osun State who almost became a governor?

I was not even talking about the House of Assembly. Beyond being a member of the House, when commissioners and ministers are screened; NYSC certificate is one of the things they look at.

In which law did you find that? There is no law which requires you to produce an NYSC certificate. The constitution does not ask you to produce it. The party does not request you to produce it. I have been singled out.

" Even Ajimobi does not have an NYSC certificate. And yet today, they have allowed him to emerge even though fraudulently as the senatorial candidate of the party for Oyo South. He does not have a certificate and the party does not ask him to produce it; the same issue I was purportedly disqualified. That is double standard.


You want to ask: why are Ajimobi and his co-travellers afraid of my emergence as the governorship candidate and as the governor of the state? On the grapevine, I hear that Ajimobi believes that Adebayo Shittu is another Buhari. If he succeeds to become governor, he – Ajimobi – would be in jail. That is his belief. I don’t know where he got that belief from. Because of that belief and pathological fear, he is trying to controvert my right and ensure that I don’t advance politically, forgetting that God is the ultimate decider of people’s faith." - Adebayo Shittu

The loudest people on Nairaland are the most ignorant ones. The second loudest are the Buharideens.

FYI - NYSC is mandatory for Nigerian graduates of any tertiary institution below 30 yrs of age.
If you had attended a tertiary institution you would have known this.

Adeosun was not qualified for an exemption(since she graduated at 22) so the question of forged or not is irrelevant.



emmanbol:
Some of us still don't get it. Shittu has not comitted any crime. Adeosun crime was presenting a forged certificate
For shittu, you don't have to present any nysc certificate to become a minister or gofnor or anything.

So, people should understand the difference.

Typical hypocritical yorobaman tuning logic on its head. Only talk, no action. First to point fingers but the most corrupt and criminally minded people on earth.

You know you are the first APC person to admit the whole anti corruption thing is just smoke and mirrors. It was just a means to an end which was the ascension to power, period. Now that the narrative is quickly unravelling I hope the people see more of a level playing field going into the next polls. Because according to you and indeed 'NO ONE IS A SAINT'.
