A statement allegedly from the management of Ahmadu Bello
University (ABU) Zaria, has confirmed that Senator Dino Melaye is a bonifide
graduate of the institution. Vanguard reports that
the yet to be confirmed
statement, however circulating in the social media and is claimed to be from
the Dean of Students, Ahmadu Bello University, ABU Zaria, Bar. Ahmed Tanimu.
The said statement claimed to be from the varsity dean was
alleged to have confirmed that Senator Dino Melaye is a “bonifide graduate of
ABU Zaria who has his genuine transcript and certificate.”
The statement, if found to be true, could be a reprieve to SenatorDino Melaye who has been embroiled in certificate scandal since Sahara
Reporters, an online media platform, published report that the lawmaker never
graduated from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he attended his first
degree course.
The Senate ethics and privileges was on Tuesday, March 21,
during plenary was directed to investigate the claim that Melaye does not
possess an authentic first degree certificate from the Ahmadu Bello University,
Zaria.
We had also reported that Senator Melaye on Thursday, March23 filed a N5 billion libel suit against an online media platform, SaharaReporters.
However, according to the confirmation making the rounds on
social media, the institution has said “Dino is a graduate of ABU Zaria.
See the full statement below allegedly from the institution,
confirming Melaye’s status as a graduate of ABU Zaria.
“Dino is a graduate of ABU Zaria. I do not like him but the campaign of
calumny and falsehood against him must stop. I recalled a meeting with the then
VC, chief security officer Mallam Ashiru.”
“At the meeting it was resolved that all politically exposed students
and unionist must be graduated for peace to reign in ABU.
“The VC started by asking me, the then SECGEN ABUSUG, when am I
supposed to graduate? I told him I was only in 4 hundred level law then, he
then asked after so many other commrades like Anslem, Chris, Ochums, Arokoyo,
Ribadu, Renshaw, Kamal, Ntom, SB, Bright, Ganzi, Kombitel, Realman, Kurfi,
Kabir Mustspha, Tijani Kabir (refused to graduate and 8 years later became NANS
president), Precious Abdul, MB Mustspha, Dino etc……he gave a marching order
that the Dean student affairs must ensure that our types are promptly graduated
and leave the school in peace and in good time. Referring to all the so called
elders and Unionist of ABU then.”
The case of Elder Dino as he then was, was even the worst.
In truism, Dino never wanted to graduate from ABU. He was benefiting handsomely
and almost feeding from Unionism like many Unionist, he deliberately kept
having carry-overs so as to remain in ABU against the orders of the VC.
Trust the smart VC Mahdi, he ensured that Dino swiftly
passed all his carry-overs. When Dino resisted that move by the VC, he was told
by the Dean that the University has the power to pass and graduate any of it’s
students if they are satisfied that such a student has attained sufficient
learning or good character standing(whether he actually pass all his papers or
not).”
“In Dino’s case, the emphasis was placed on his good
character and not necessarily the waived passing.”
I repeat, Dino is a bonifide graduate of ABU Zaria,
Department of Geography and Faculty of Social Science. He has his genuine
transcript and certificate. He might have been exempted from NYSC as he was an
adult even when in school.”
