Aisha Yesufu Lashes Out At President Buhari Over NYSC Comments

Aisha Yesufu who is the co-convener of BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, advocacy group, has condemned President Buhari over his recent comments on the national youth Service Corps (NYSC).

According to Aisha Yesufu in a Tweet, Buhari’s integrity is in question because of the way he has disregarded the fake NYSC certificate case of one of his ministers, Kemi Adeosun. She wrote;

“Many corpers died serving our Nation. Everyday Kemi Adeosun accused of forging her NYSC certificate continues to be in office is a dishonour to their sacrifice & a slap to the family they left behind Mr President sir where is thy integrity?”

This was in reply to President Buhari’s tweet concerning NYSC in which he stated that;

“One of the Sallah traditions I look forward to the most is the visit by Youth Corpers posted to Daura.

I think the NYSC is one of the best things that has happened to Nigeria, because of the opportunity it gives young Nigerians to see and know different parts of the country.

Many of the Corps members posted to Daura are from southern Nigeria,and have never lived in or experienced this part of the country. For them to be brought to the desert or near the Sahel region is a difficult thing, but I have no doubt it will make a positive impact on Nigeria.

I welcomed them to my ancient town of Daura, and asked them to enjoy their service year, and the hospitality of the people. Regardless of where they’re from, Daura is also their home, and I hope that in the years to come they will look back to this time with fond memories.”
