Adeosun’s departure is coming 24 hours after she resigned as finance minister following the certificate forgery allegation levelled against her.

The former minister was accused of forging her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) exemption certificate.

PDP warned

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)had earlier allegedthat the Federal Government was planning to secretly fly Adeosun out of Nigeria.

The PDP in a statement released to newsmen said “Our investigations reveal that the Federal Government, which earlier made efforts to defend Mrs. Adeosun, has already perfected a plot to help her to evade prosecution following fears that she could open up on the humongous corruption going on in the financial sector under the Buhari administration.

“The PDP is also aware of plots by the Federal Government to secretly move her out of the country, and for that, we urge the international community to be at alert and ensure she is repatriated to face justice in Nigeria should the Federal Government succeed in its devious plan.”

The party also called on President Buhari to arrest and prosecute the former minister.
