Reno Omokri Exonerates Adesoun, Others Defer

Kemi Adeosun, @HMKemiAdeosun, claims she did not know her @nysc_ng exemption certificate was forged and I believe her. I read her letter and it made sense. Ordinarily, I would have called for her prosecution, but this was a honest mistake and she shouldn’t be punished #RenosDarts

I'm OK with Kemi Adeosun's resignation and I feel sorry for her even though I wanted her to resign.

Woman did too much in a short time that treasury looters had to make sure dirt was dug up on her.
However, she just trod where many never dare to tread

Let's forget abt Kemi Adeosun not doing the NYSC. She committed FORGERY, which is a criminal offence, for which everyday Nigerians go to jail every time. She only resigned after sustained pressure from us, and pple are praising her? Do you praise a thief who returns stolen goods?

I know we shouldn't be reading ethnicity into every appointment, but I just can't help it with Buhari…

"The (Kemi Adeosun's) sack was deliberately made public today to manage public backlash over the President’s decision to remove Matthew Seiyefa as DG of DSS to make way for Yusuf Magaji Bichi. Seiyefa hails from Bayelsa while Bichi is from Kano" – Sahara Reporters.
