Minister of Aviation under the administration of Goodluck Jonathan, Femi Fani-Kayode has lambasted the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun.
Fani-Kayode also demanded her immediate resignation.
He further criticized President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing Adeosun whom he suggested was not fit for the job.
Fani-Kayode said these via his Twitter handle Saturday.
“Only a primitive and savage cow-loving herdsman can appoint a low class cockney-accented peasant from the slums of East-End London and a barely-educated misfit with a forged NYSC certificate as Minister of Finance.
“No wonder we are in a recession! Its time for Kemi Adeosun to resign!, he tweeted.
Fani-Kayode’s reaction follows a report by Premium Times which revealed that upon Adeosun’s graduation from the Polytechnic of East London, at 22 in 1989, she failed to participate in the one year national service by NYSC, which is mandatory for all Nigerian graduates.
She was also said to have forged her NYSC certificate of exemption usually issued to graduates who have reached the age of 30 to enable her work in public service.
Adeosun served as a Commissioner for Finance in Ogun State between 2011 and 2015 before bagging her current job as the Minister Finance under President Muhammadu Buhari.
