Kemi Adeosun’s Resignation sparks serious national debate

Nigerians were thrown into shock after news broke that Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, has resigned from her position.

Sources quoted her as saying, she had to go because the alleged forgery of her National Youth Service Corps Certificate made her position as Minister untenable.

Many Nigerians have hailed the former minister for taking the path of honour and resigning while others are saying resigning isn’t enough. Many have taken to social media to ask that she be prosecuted by the appropriate authorities according to the rule of law.

I have just received, with sadness, news that Kemi Adeosun has resigned. She is a talented, courageous woman who drove a lot of important reforms as Minister of Finance. However, the NYSC saga had made her position untenable & the situation was only going to go from bad to worse.

With Kemi Adeosun’s reported resignation, it’s safe to declare that Nigeria’s journalist of the year is definitely our own @abdulfagge, for revealing her forgery and how she was being exploited by NASS. And allow me to famz that he’s my former co-worker. #ProudFriendsCommunity

Kemi Adeosun was mute for too long over the NYSC saga. However, for her to have resigned as Minister of Finance shows that she's sane.

FLASH: I have just received news that Kemi Adeosun, @HMKemiAdeosun has resigned.

Please confirm this @PremiumTimesng.

If truly she has resigned, she must refund all the salary she has received serving as minister of finance with forged certificate.

Just as Kemi Adeosun should face the full wrath of the law if she's indeed guilty, all those in @nassnigeria who were exploiting her should also face the full wrath of the law. Their party affiliation should not matter in the least.

KEMI Adeosun was an asset to this govt, but what is wrong is wrong and what must be done must be done. Glad she finally did the right thing.

Professor Itse Sagay should 'resign' too. He justified the crime of forgery committed by Kemi Adeosun and claimed that the Oluwole Minister of Finance was too indispensable to be sacked. He should hide his face in shame!

As Kemi Adeosun resigns , ICPC and other relevant agencies should prosecute her for forgery without further delay; only then can we say kudos to this admin that is known for giving soft landing to corrupt friends and family. Babachir Lawal is Adamawa Campaign DG.

Kemi Adeosun’s rumoured resignation is a smokescreen and we should be wary of “progressive characters and their boys” who’ll use this occasion to sweep her alleged criminal actions under the rug. Resigning has no place under the rule of law but arrest and prosecution does.
