Nnewi, state of Anambra Aisha Yesufu, a well-known sociopolitical activist, said on Saturday, July 8, that Mmesoma Ejikeme had manipulated the results of the election in the same way that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu reportedly did in the election of February 2023.
Yesufu argued in a post on her verified Twitter account that President Tinubu should face the same sanctions and be dismissed from office that Mmesoma had received from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result of 362 that Miss Mmesoma allegedly fabricated was validated by a committee appointed by the Anambra state government on Saturday morning, July 8.
Top Labour Party (LP) supporter of Peter Obi, Yesufu, asserted that a criminal conduct can never be justified.
The 49-year-old also urged people who were “defending” Tinubu’s win in the elections of 2023 to be truthful with themselves.
“Mmesoma fabricated results to be the highest JAMB scorer, similar to how Bola Ahmed Tinubu manipulated elections to win the most votes.
“Punishing one (rightfully so) and leaving the other is to send a disastrous message that forgery is not the crime but the level at which you do it.
“There can never be justification for a crime.
“The next time you want to defend Tinubu’s rigging, ask yourself how you felt with Mmesoma’s forgery.”
