From the way the federal government is hedging over the saga of
the forged National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) exemption certificate by the
Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, it is clear that the felony is enjoying
condonation by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government under
President Muhammadu Buhari; otherwise, the matter should have been decisively
dealt with by now and consigned to the dustbin of history. Or, put differently,
Adeosun should have, by now, become history.

But this
is not the situation. The minister, who is in the eye of the storm, has taken
refuge in feigned meekness and has, in fact, continued to benefit from the
paraphernalia of her office, perhaps, in the hope that the matter will die
naturally. This is not only nauseating but also treating Nigerians with
disdain. It is obvious that the administration is acting true to type, either
mollycoddling wrongdoers or vacillating before giving them the
boot. Adeosun is, without a doubt, being pampered; this is, perhaps,
the reason she has not deemed it fit to show remorse.
