A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Taofik Gani, has urged President Bola Tinubu to demonstrate his commitment to transparency and fairness by instructing the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, to publicly address and clear his name regarding alleged discrepancies in his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) records and past corruption accusations.

Gani expressed this request in a statement on Wednesday, cautioning that the increasing perception of nepotism and selective justice within the Tinubu administration could erode public trust in the government's anti-corruption initiatives.

He mentioned that there are multiple petitions against Tunji-Ojo, including allegations that he neglected his duties during his compulsory NYSC service year yet still submitted a discharge certificate during his ministerial vetting.

“If President Tinubu and his party, the APC, are genuinely committed to combating corruption, the minister should be instructed to clear his name or resign honorably, similar to Geoffrey Uche Nnaji, the former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, who stepped down following accusations of certificate forgery,” Gani remarked.

“This is the moment for President Tinubu to show that he is not protecting South-West ministers involved in corruption cases,” Gani asserted.

DAILY POST previously reported that Isaiah Ijele, the Convener of the League for Good Governance, called on Tinubu to permit the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate the minister.
