NYSC DG To Appear Before Tribunal Over Gov. Mbah's 'Fake Discharged Certificate'
EkoHotBlog reports the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). DG, Brigadier General Yushau Dogara Ahmed is set to appear before the Enugu State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal to testify on the alleged discharge certificate Governor Peter Mba has presented.
The development was disclosed in a tweet by the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) on Thursday morning, June 22.
Recall that the NYSC certificate the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governor presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the 2023 general election has become a subject of discussion in the public space after the corps service consistently denied the certificate.
Chris Ekemezie, the lawyer representing the governor at the Tribunal, in one of his interviews on Channels TV, maintained that Mbah has no reason to forge the NYSC certificate and wondered why the corps service denied the certificate it issued.
Ekemezie explained that Governor Mbah was camped in Lagos and had his primary place of assignment (PPA) at a law firm. However, he added that the governor deferred his service after six months to go to law school but returned to complete the service.
The legal practitioner said: “A certificate he didn’t have to pay for; it’s not an exam certificate. It’s just for you to be present and do the primary assignment then you get it. When he completed, it was given to him.”
