Laolu Akande, the former spokesman to ex-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has weighed in on the case of alleged certificate forgery of Uche Nnaji, the resigned Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology.
While speaking in an interview with Sunrise daily on Channels Television on Thursday, Akande commended the minister for resigning from his position.
He, however, added that Nnaji has to be prosecuted despite his resignation.
“There is a good feeling that you have the minister resigning quite quickly after Premium Times did the story and made the whole thing known. It’s good that the minister resigned. We need to go to the extreme of the matter even in the interest of Nnaji himself. There has to be a criminal prosecution because the University of Nigeria, Nsukka said it did not issue him a certificate but he is insisting that the school did. So I don’t know whether it’s a civil case that can solve the matter. I think there has to be a pursuit of justice ultimately. The fact that he resigned, in my view, is not enough,” he stated
