There are strong indications that the minister of finance Kemi Adeosun may lose her job if the presidency was convinced she forged her National Youth Service Corps certificate.
An online portal broke the news at the weekend saying the minister forged her exemption certificate even when she was of the age to serve.
Many Nigerians are shocked at the report with the opposition politicians seeking her sack.
Presidential aide Garba Shehu said they are yet to be briefed on the matter even as the NYSC plans to issue a statement shortly.
Sources said Adeosun has been devasted by the matter amd has been making secret moves to get around the issue with those who have the ear of President Muhammadu Buhari.
However, sources said the minister’s job is now on the line if NYSC makes a formal pronouncement that contradicts Adeosun’s claim because Buhari is tired of dealing with more image damaging matters on his administration.
Our source said “the onus is on Adeosun to prove bookmakers wrong or she may mot be having a job with this administration,” adding that her political detractors must have got the better part of her with the matter.
One man Adeosun is said to be using to deal with the matter is her political benefactor and Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun who, incidentally, has Buhari’s ears.
