Activists Call for Interior Minister's Dismissal Over Alleged Fake Certificate
Activists are urging Nigerian politician Bola Tinubu to dismiss Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo due to claims of holding a fake National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate. Protesters allege that Tunji-Ojo's certification is not genuine, questioning his eligibility for public office.
The minister's NYSC certificate, issued in February, has raised doubts about its authenticity, with discrepancies in the dates and signatures. Despite Tunji-Ojo's defense that he underwent NYSC scrutiny from 2019 to 2020, concerns persist over the legitimacy of his certification.
The controversy has sparked demonstrations and criticism, with activists highlighting the minister's alleged disservice to the nation. While the NYSC has confirmed the authenticity of the certificate, discrepancies in its issuance and content have fueled skepticism.
Tunji-Ojo's educational background, including attending a secondary school in Ondo State, has come under scrutiny amid calls for transparency and accountability in public service.
