Tinubu, NYSC Accused Of Complicity In Musawa Case By HURIWA.

The Association stated this while reacting to the Minister’s claim that she did not violate any laws regarding her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate.
Recall that the Minister on Sunday, during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today stated that she did not break any laws regarding the matter.
In the interview, the minister had said, “The matter has been adjudicated and one day, I will come out with my account. I have probably done more NYSC than you (presenter). I have done at least two NYSCs in my life.
“I think what I owe Nigerians is to say that I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t break the law. The NYSC I did and finished. That is the much I can tell you. Everything I did was by the law.”
However, in a statement signed by HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, the organisation disagreed with the minister, adding that she violated the NYSC bye-law by picking up ministerial appointments even as a corps member.
The group asserted that NYSC confirmed that she was a corps member as at the time of the appointment.
Onwubiko blamed both President Bola Tinubu and the NYSC for allowing the apparent violations of the NYSC bye-law “only because the minister is from a prominent political family and given that she worked vigorously to campaign for Tinubu.”
It also pointed out that under the same NYSC’S bye-law, some corps members from poor homes who wore trousers as part of their uniforms, were sanctioned even as one of the embattled corps members contested her punishment in the competent court of law.
The group subsequently advised the minister to stop disrespecting the intelligence of the good people of Nigeria by defending the indefensible

A Massive Endorsement: US Lawmaker Praises Tinubu, Claims State Police Will Save Nigeria’s Christians!.
U.S. Congressman Riley Moore has expressed strong support for the Nigerian Senate’s recent approval of a Constitution Alteration Bill aimed at creating state police forces.
