Nigerians were thrown into shock after news broke that Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, has resigned from her position.
Sources quoted her as saying, she had to go because the alleged forgery of her National Youth Service Corps Certificate made her position as Minister untenable.
Many Nigerians have hailed the former minister for taking the path of honour and resigning while others are saying resigning isn’t enough. Many have taken to social media to ask that she be prosecuted by the appropriate authorities according to the rule of law.

FLASH: I have just received news that Kemi Adeosun, @HMKemiAdeosun has resigned.
Please confirm this @PremiumTimesng.
If truly she has resigned, she must refund all the salary she has received serving as minister of finance with forged certificate.

Just as Kemi Adeosun should face the full wrath of the law if she's indeed guilty, all those in @nassnigeria who were exploiting her should also face the full wrath of the law. Their party affiliation should not matter in the least.

Professor Itse Sagay should 'resign' too. He justified the crime of forgery committed by Kemi Adeosun and claimed that the Oluwole Minister of Finance was too indispensable to be sacked. He should hide his face in shame!

As Kemi Adeosun resigns , ICPC and other relevant agencies should prosecute her for forgery without further delay; only then can we say kudos to this admin that is known for giving soft landing to corrupt friends and family. Babachir Lawal is Adamawa Campaign DG.

Kemi Adeosun’s rumoured resignation is a smokescreen and we should be wary of “progressive characters and their boys” who’ll use this occasion to sweep her alleged criminal actions under the rug. Resigning has no place under the rule of law but arrest and prosecution does.
