Premium Times did not just one day decide to go dig in on Kemi's NYSC claims but rather got a tip-off from a very credible and highly placed source within the Presidency.

Premium Times stated that their investigations into Kemi's NYSC certificate scandal began sometime in early April of this year.

The current "under-recovery" fraud claim being perpetuated by the NNPC first reared it's head in March. The excuse presented by the NNPC management over the significant short fall of oil reciept revenue to the Federation account did not sit up well with governors across the nation as there was a unison bi-partisan rejection by governors of the 36 states to this excuse made by the NNPC.

One of the most, if not most powerful men in Buhari's cabinet , Abba Kyari is currently on the BOT of the NNPC. He is believed to be the real substantive Minister of Petroleum and Buhari's confidant and adviser into the oil industry.

The Department of State Security (DSS) are the ones who provided the tip off to Premium Times as they are the ones who vetted and screened and gave her a clean bill which they submitted to both the President and National Assembly for nomination and confirmation respectively as Minister of Finance. If anyone will know about Kemi's certificate forgery it is the DSS!

The National Assembly has no hand in Kemi's on-going NYSC forgery case as NASS only works with submissions from the DSS. This is why the same Senate refused to confirm Magu as substantive EFCC chair based on the DSS report submitted to it.

Screening of Presidential appointees is done public and members of the public are encouraged to submit their reservations on the confirmation of any such nominated candidate.

To even blame the opposition is ridiculous to say the least ad they would have used the Senate screening to disgrace Kemi if they knew about her NYSC certificate forgery.

Kemi's travails began when she refused to accept the NNPC's official "claims of under-recovery" which the latter claimed was reason behind the short-fall of crude oil sales remittance despite a surge in both oil output locally and a rebound in cost of crude in the international market. The claim that NNPC was subsidizing on it's own without budgetary provisions the pump price of PMS was a scandal on it's own. The powerful cabal had expected Kemi to at least support the subsidy narrative but rather she openly rejected the NNPC claims and agreed to set-up a panel consisting of commissioners of finance and Governors across the Nation to investigate the NNPC claim.

In-short Kemi-Gate is a ploy by the Cabal to get rid of Kemi as Finance Minister and replace her with someone else who will be able to help them conceal the massive fraud currently going on at the NNPC.

In as a much I have no single fcks to give over Kemi's current predicament as it is obvious she is guilty of both forgery and pejury, it is important to note here that the scandal is not the doing of the NASS or opposition figures trying to blackmail Kemi as the Zombies of BMC have been shouting since the scandal broke, but rather Kemi's travails are the handwork of very powerful people within the Presidency and NNPC, who as things appear, have the full backing of the President himsel

Someone was even comparing Kemi and Okonjo

some even went to the extent to blame Igbo's yet they will turn back and start shouting rule of law,due process and blah blah..Now the minister has goofed

Not serving your country is a big crime when you are a government appointee(except you don't want to take government job)

Not only did she abscond but even has the temerity to forge documents

Tell me who is more patriotic?... i served mine with rigorous stress,i obeyed the clarion call,i risked my life just to serve my fatherland obediently, I gave the best to make Nigeria great

Yet one woman ditched her country,spite her country because she saw no need coming to this useless country to serve(in her own mind)

Only for her to come and enjoy the fruits of other people's labour...the same country she ditched.

Inferiority complex,she preferred Abroad than her country, why did you now come back because Abroad did not help your life


Kemi should honourably resign...But what do I know?Mr Integrity in Aso rock won't dare it

I thought who want to visit Equity must go with clean hands...maybe I'm wrong

I don't have any problem with her but my problem is people should not bring Igbo's into this case

Governors accuse NNPC of inflating fuel subsidy figures, demand probe from 2015

State governors have alleged an inflation by almost 50 per cent in the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) figures on petrol consumption and demanded a probe of oil subsidy payments from 2015 till date.

After a meeting with the Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, on Wednesday night, the governors told State house correspondents that the NNPC has almost doubled the figure of daily consumption of petrol from 33 or 35 million litres to 60 million litres.

“On the issue of cost recovery otherwise called subsidy, the issue of subsidy resurfaced again after the efforts of Mr. President. Before now the oil was $40 per barrel and now it is about $78 a barrel, so therefore they are depending largely on importation,” the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum and Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, said.

“Therefore, the cost is higher than what they are selling at the filling station and they need more money. When there was no cost recovery, the NNPC clearly gave us the number of 33 and 35 million liters per day as the consumption of Nigeria.

“But now that with the new regime of cost recovery, NNPC is claiming daily consumption of 60 and 65 million liters per day? Which we rejected and said no.

“So many of our international partners are saying that even if we are feeding Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana and Niger, we cannot consume more than 35 million liters per day. So we are wondering where the 60 million liters is coming from. We are trying to sort that one out, that one is not yet resolved.

“At the same time, NNPC is making payment on behalf of Nigeria on Cash-call contribution and also the NNPC is making payment of cash call arrears of Nigeria’s contribution. Our main concern is that in 2015, they said about $16.8 billion which is outstanding was not paid by the last administration and they negotiated it down to $5.1 billion according to them.

“What we said specifically is that they should bring to us how much they have paid from 2015 to date and what is outstanding. And we directed they stop payment until the claims are proven and then we can give further directives,” Mr Yari, said

Speaking as chairman of the Governors forum, Mr Yari also informed correspondent that since the NNPC indicated “porous borders” as the reason for the increase in petrol consumption, they have also directed all petrol stations less than 10 kilometres to the nation’s borders be immediately shut by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) until they are recertified.

“We are now taking a very hard decision, that because NNPC said the reason why they were lifting 60 million per day is because our borders are porous, so we have taken the decision that any filling station that is 10 kilometers on the border side should be closed by DPR. And, then we will do recertification according to the needs,” he said.

The chairman also said the governors directed the Minister of Finance to collaborate with the DPR and the NNPC to put tracking devices on every truck in order to monitor fuel discharge.

“Because, we are suspicious of the number, we cannot confirm the difference from 30 million liters per day consumption to 60 and 65 million liter per day consumption. So these are our decisions on the NNPC,” he said.

The governors also demanded that the NNPC must henceforth clearly differentiate its earnings in sales as against taxes before remitting funds to the Federation Account to avoid unexplained shortfalls.

Other governors at the closed-door meeting were Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom, Godwin Obaseki of Edo, Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa , Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna and Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi states.

The meeting, which ended a few minutes after 8p.m, was also attended by the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udo Udoma, and a representative of the NNPC Group Managing Director.

Interesting.

Very good observation. Which is why I never bothered myself about Kemi's NYSC scandal. The terrorist in Abuja are up to something.

Apart from being a forger and perjurer Kemi is also highly corrupt as Minister of Finance.

The Cabal wants to get rid of her and they easily could have nailed her with several hundred corrupt dealings she has been involved in since being appointed Minister but they rescinded on this path because it will not only set a very bad precedence on not only the saintly cabinet of Buhari but also negatively affect investor confidence and lead to an irreparable damage of Nigeria's financial sector and regulatory bodies. Also there is the fun-fact that most of Kemi's sundry and shaddy dealings will definitely implicate them as well.

This is where the certificate scandal became handy.

I said this several times and I will say it again, Nigerians and the world will be shocked at the monumental scale of corruption in NNPC when a new govt is voted in next year. At the moment, Buhari's govt is the most CORRUPT AND ROTTEN govt ever in modern times!

And the bolded gave birth to NYSC forgery scandal since Kemi will be the only victim.

Correct!. This is how it is done in the west.

A govt appointee resigns over a minor misdemeanor or extra-marital scandal. The underlining reasons are that he or she was edged out for not playing ball. The misdemeanor is set as a warning and if the individual does not honorable go silent into the night, more serious corrupt cases are reeled out.

Behind any resignation over a misdemeanor in the West, know that more serious scandals were pending.


The Cabal is just playing their first Card on Kemi and if she refuses to resign all hell will be let loose on her.

I don't know her level of mental toughness and dare devil spirit, but if I were her, I will not resign. I will stay put and see what the Abuja terrorist will do. Their next action will determine the return fire.

Staying will be more detrimental to the Buhari administration than her.

Either way it is a clusterfuck of confusion and scandal that will rock this administration.

I think we the people should stand with kemi
Aso rock is all about jihad and foolishness

No. She is equally corrupt.

Let them oust themselves.

I was discussing this topic with a friend yesterday and he also indicated the possibility that Tinubu may be the one behind the saga as he is interested in having his stooge replace Kemi as Minister of Finance.
