The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity Temitope Ajayi says his comment about a corps member facing the full extent of the law has been twisted.
The senior special adviser in a statement made available to ait.live says it has become imperative to dispel the misrepresentation and patent mischief that has trailed his comment on a Facebook post.
The SSA suggested during “the post that flagrant and open abuse and disregard for NYSC by-laws and established protocol should attract the full NYSC disciplinary measures, particularly regarding a corps member’s recent display of impudence.”
He said it is “triste to say the maximum punishment under the NYSC protocol is expulsion; nothing beyond the established norms and laws is suggested or remotely implied.
According to Temitope the NYSC scheme is a historic and treasured national programme that should not be sullied and ridiculed by indiscipline. It symbolises our triumph over division and consistent effort to forge a more potent and virile union.
The senior special assistant came under attack when he commented
Rita Uguamaye had criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, calling him a terrible president
“If a lot of Nigerians come out and start speaking about what we are going through, maybe changes will be made in the government. I don’t know if there is any other president that is as terrible as you (Mr Tinubu). But you (Mr Tinubu) are such a terrible president,”
She has been summoned by NYSC Local Government Inspector’s office.
