The
All Progressives Congress, APC, has described that resignation of
Mrs. Kemi Adeosun as Minister of Finance and acceptance of same by
President Muhammadu Buhari as actions of honour, strength of
character and integrity.
According
to a statement issued by Yekini Nabena, Ag.
National Publicity Secretary, “the
news that the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) exemption
certificate tendered by the former finance minister was not genuine
have been well-reported in the media.
“Like
all responsive and responsible governments concerned about the truth
and due process, the federal government undertook diligent
investigation of the allegation. Now that the report of the
investigation is out, the right thing has been done. The honorable
minister has taken the path of honour and resigned. We congratulate
Mrs. Adeosun for her action.
“In
President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of integrity and
transparency in the conduct of public affairs, no officer of
government with a modicum of questionable conduct or integrity should
stay in office.”
The
statement read further:
“In
past PDP-led administrations, the country was held down by corrupt
and irresponsible public officers who refused to honour invitations
of the National Assembly; closed down national airports against
perceived political adversaries; bought luxurious bullet-proof
vehicles with public funds at inflated prices; locked out National
Assembly members, forcing federal lawmakers to climb high barricades
in order to assess the legislative chamber.
“It
was these acts of corruption, impunity, irresponsibility and
executive rascality that made Nigerians vote in the President Buhari
administration in 2015, with its Change mantra to put a stop to such
undemocratic practices.
“We
wish Mrs. Adeosun every success in her future endeavors and join
President Buhari in appreciating her immense contributions to the
stability of the Nigerian economy in the past three and half years.”
