Adeosun’s resignation shows honour, integrity – APC

By Umar Muhammad Puma

The All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the resignation of Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun, and acceptance of same by President Muhammadu Buhari as actions of honour, strength of character and integrity.
In a statement issued yesterday by the acting National Publicity Secretary of the party Yekini Nabena, said the Buhari’s government like all responsive and responsible governments concerned about the truth and due process, undertook diligent investigation of the allegation that led to the ministry’s resignation.
“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.
“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.
The party assured that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration known for integrity and transparency in the conduct of public affairs, will not spare any officer of government with a modicum of questionable conduct or integrity to stay in office.
“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”, the party said.
