If Buhari is allowed to rule without certificate, Melaye is qualified to serve with toilet paper – Fayose’s aide

Lere Olayinka, who is the Special Assistant on Public
Communications and New Media to Ekiti State Governor, has purported that
President Muhammadu Buhari is ruling Nigeria with ‘NEPA bill.’

Olayinka made the assertion in justification of Senator
representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, who has been at the heart of a certificate
humiliation.

Meanwhile, the Punch reports that a news platform had
recently claimed that Melaye never graduated from Ahmadu Bello University, ABU,
Zaria as generally thought.

Despite Melaye’s assertion that he was admitted into ABU,
headed the Student Union Government in his days at the sanctuary of learning,
graduated successfully, the Senate decided to investigate the claims.

To counter this backdrop, Melaye had launched a N5billion
libel suit against the online media outfit.

But in reaction to the ongoing certificate scandal, Fayose’s
spokesman came in defence of the Kogi lawmaker, saying President Muhammadu
Buhari has no legal reason to bully any politicians who is indicted of fake
certificate.

In a brief statement on his Facebook page, Olayinka wrote: “Even if Dino Melaye presents Toilet paper
as certificate, we like it like that.

“After all, our
President is ruling us with NEPA BILL as certificate.”

For the meantime, Melaye has shared certificate of his MSc got
from ABU.

Conversely, the London School of Economics had denied that
Melaye ever attended the school.

According to Sahara Reporters however, the LSE rebuffed that
the Melaye attended the institution.

Candy Gibson, the senior media relations officer at the university
said: “We have checked our records and
can find no evidence of Dino Melaye having any degree qualification from the
London School of Economics and Political Science.”

This comes just as Harvard University also claimed he never acquire
a degree but only did a one-week course.
