PRESS STATEMENT ADC: APC is a Nest of Certificate Forgers The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said the involvement of a minister in the APC government in certificate forgery is merely indicative and actually confirms the party as a nest of certificate forgers. In a statement signed by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, the ADC described the President’s action as weak and disappointing, saying that a government that claims to uphold integrity cannot afford to treat criminal conduct like a personal matter. The full statement read: The ADC believes that the decision of President Tinubu to merely accept the offending former minister's resignation instead of taking a tougher stance gives the unfortunate impression that the President is sympathetic to such behaviour. We are equally appalled that the Minister was allowed to quietly resign after publicly admitting that the certificates he presented were not issued by the relevant institutio...

By EgbemaVoice  A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Oba Maduabuchi, has described the suit filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja, challenging the eligibility of former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election as an abuse of court process. Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Tuesday, Maduabuchi said the issue of Jonathan’s qualification had already been settled by a competent court in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, and no appeal has been filed against that judgment. He stated that until the existing judgment is overturned, it remains the valid legal position, adding that anyone attempting to relitigate the matter is “simply abusing the process of the court and is a busy body”. The senior lawyer explained that the 2018 constitutional amendment — Section 137(3), which limits a person to one further term if they have previously completed another’s tenure — did not exist when Jonathan first took the oath of office in 2010 following the death ...
