SCANDAL:
ENUGU Governor-elect’s public Discharge Certificate is FAKE from ‘Oluwole Black Market’, Not from NYSC-DG, Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed
…I did NYSC, was discharged honorably, says Peter Mbah
*“The argument on whether Peter Mbah has a valid NYSC certificate or not did not arise because I have told the People’s Democratic Party’s candidate in the 2023 governorship elections that what he presented as a certificate was forged”
*“Mbah came to me, showed me the certificate and I called my director to confirm the authenticity and we discovered that the certificate issued to him was fake and I told him. I wonder how elites who have gone to school will resort to black market certificates. Everyone knows how we issue our certificate in NYSC. We don’t give it in hotel rooms or houses”
*“I have filed a case against the NYSC. I am demanding N20 billion for injuries inflicted on my person due to the controversies surrounding my hard-earned certificate”-Governor-elect, PETER MBAH

THE SUCCESS being celebrated by the ‘Governor-elect’ of Enugu State, PETER MBAH seem to be on a shaky ground, as the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brig Gen YD Ahmed, has said the discharge certificate being paraded by Enugu Mbah was not issued by the body, but from ‘Oluwole Market’. Not taking it lightly on a likely coming perjury challenge, Mbah has quickly filed a court case against NYSC demanding the sum of N20billion for damages inflicted on him as a result of the discharge certificate scandal. Also, he claimed he did NYSC and was discharged honorably.
Brig Gen Ahmed, while appearing on Arise TV’s breakfast programme on Friday said the argument on whether Mbah has a valid NYSC certificate or not did not arise because he has told the People’s Democratic Party’s candidate in the 2023 governorship elections that what he presented as a certificate was fake.
“He came to me and I called my director to confirm the certificate and we discovered that the certificate was fake and I told him…I wonder how elites who have gone to school will resort to black market certificates.
“Everyone knows how we issue our certificate in NYSC. We don’t give it in hotel rooms or houses,” the DG said.
Meanwhile, the Enugu state governor-elect, Peter Mbah has filed a case against the NYSC, demanding N20 billion for injuries he claimed to have inflicted on his person due to the controversies surrounding his certificate.
Recall that controversy surrounding Mbah’s discharge certificate became known publicly in February 2023, when the NYSC, in response to an inquiry by a non-governmental organisation, released a letter stating that the certificate submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission was not issued by them.
