The Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media
to Ekiti State Governor, Lere Olayinka, has alleged that President Muhammadu
Buhari is ruling Nigeria with “NEPA bill.”
Olayinka made the claim in defence
of Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, who has been at the center of a
certificate scandal. Meanwhile we reported that a news platform had recently
claimed that the Kogi lawmaker never graduated from Ahmadu Bello University,
ABU, Zaria as widely believed. Despite Melaye’s insistence that he was admitted
into ABU, headed the Student Union Government in his days at the citadel of
learning, graduated successfully, the Senate opted to probe the claims. Against
this backdrop, Melaye had instituted a N5billion libel suit against the online
media platform. But reacting to the ongoing scandal, Fayose’s spokesman
defended the Kogi lawmaker, saying President Muhammadu Buhari has no legal
justification to threaten any politicians who is accused of fake certificate.
