NYSC SAGA: Group Insists Enugu PDP Guber Candidate Not Qualified To Run
Enugu PDP Denies NYSC Certificate Forgery Allegation Against Mbah
Few days to the March 18 Governorship and State House of Assembly elections, a civil society organisation, Total Support for the Rule of Law and Justice Initiative, has accused officials of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) of attempts to compromise Police investigations into the allegations of forgery of NYSC Certificate by Peter Mbah, the Enugu State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
At a press briefing on Wednesday, the media and publicity secretary of the group, Cynthia Mbakwe, called on the Director General of the Corps, Brigadier General Yusha’u Dogara Ahmed, to intervene and save the integrity of the Corps from officials who have been compromised to delay the response of the Corps to the Police until the conduct of the scheduled governorship election.
She said, “We therefore raise this alarm that officials of the NYSC, are delaying the response to the Police in their investigation of the allegations of forgery of his NYSC Certificate which we made against him.
“It is at this juncture that we make bold to call on the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps Brigadier General Yusha’u Dogara Ahmed to immediately save the image of the Corps and respond to the investigation of the Police and confirm whether the NYSC issued Peter Mbah with the NYSC he presented to INEC.”
The group further insisted that the NYSC could only be stalling the investigations.
They further asserted that the DG of the Corps was not aware of what has transpired among his staff and beckoned on him to salvage the good name of the Corps.
Furthermore, the group insisted that Mbah forged his NYSC certificate, hence he was not qualified to contest the March 18 election and called on him to step down, apologise to the people of Enugu State.
They reminded the voters in Enugu State that any vote for Mbah would eventually be voided and hence become wasted vote.
