Senator Dino Melaye has made move
to convince Nigerians that he attended and graduated from the Ahmadu
Bello University by sharing a picture of himself during his National
Youth Service Corps.
The
Senator has been caught in a web of allegation that he did not graduate
from the university as he failed his final year courses although the
senator has insisted he duly graduated. He shared a picture of himself during his NYSC programme in Kaduna in 1999. Meanwhile, Harvard has responded to claim by Senator Melaye that he has a degree from the institution. Senator Ali Ndume had raised a point of order asking the Senate to
probe the allegation that Melaye did not graduate from ABU has claimed.
In response, Melaye had lashed out at the
Senator saying not only did he graduate from Abu but claimed he also
has a degree from Harvard. He had said: “I
and here to respond to the issue raised by the Boko Haram suspect (and)
senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Ali Ndume. I want
to say, to me, it is a welcome development. Democracy is about
investigation and no senator is above investigation. To me, it is a
welcome development and it will finally clear the air on all the
malicious and vindictive allegations.
“To
say that I did not graduate from ABU is to say that I am not a senator
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. ABU is a very prestigious university
in this country and it is not possible for one to be running a master’s
programme in the university when one did not graduate from a
university. I have successfully completed one and I am doing the second
one. “I want to announce that
this is the eighth degree that I am pursuing. I am also a graduate of
University of Abuja, where I did Masters in Policy Analysis. I am a
graduate of London School of Economics and Political Science. I am also a
graduate of Harvard University. The course I am pursuing now will make
it my eighth degree.”
He also introduced himself as an
authentic graduate of the school when he spoke at the Senate as a way
of convincing Nigerians of his true academic status.
