if Melaye presents Toilet paper as certificate, we like it like that President rules with NEPA BILL as certificate” - Fayose Special Assistant

Olayinka made the claim in defence of Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, who has been at the center of a certificate scandal.

The Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to Ekiti State Governor, Lere Olayinka, has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari is ruling Nigeria with “NEPA bill.”

Against this backdrop, Melaye had instituted a N5billion libel suit against the online media platform.

But reacting to the ongoing scandal, Fayose’s spokesman defended the Kogi lawmaker, saying President Muhammadu Buhari has no legal justification to threaten any politicians who is accused of fake certificate.

In a terse 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.”

However, the London School of Economics had denied that Melaye ever attended the school. According to Sahara Reporters however, the LSE denied that the Melaye attended the institution. 

Candy Gibson who is the senior media relations officer at the institution 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 is coming just as Harvard University also said he did not obtain a degree but only did a one-week course. Some persons who commented on the issue urged the senator who publish his certificate.
