A right group under the aegis of BETTER TOMORROW INITIATIVES has called for the arrest and prosecution of Seun Odofin who is contesting for House of Representatives in Ijesha North federal constituency, Osun State.
Full text of the group press conference held today in Osun State;
Protocol,
The Executive of this great movement,
The National Leadership and state coordinators,
Human Rights Activist,
Gentlemen of the press.
It is with great concern for the sustainability of our virtues for a proper democratic government, which is hinged on the principle of honesty , accountability and transparency of candidates that we have called for this press conference.
2. In recent times our movement which has been focused towards credible elections, credible candidates who are worthy of character and integrity has been duly notified of certain candidates in the coming elections with questionable educational qualifications and titles allotted to academic qualifications.
3. It is in the interest of the masses that we have called out this issue for public sensitivity to ensure candidates are able to defend whatever titles and qualifications they claim to have and sources of such must be questioned as we are already in a dilemma with people with questionable questions on qualifications leading the intelligent ones in the country.
4. As a matter of importance, it is saddening to note that this movement has done a very deep investigation upon a report that the Aspirant for the House of Representatives in Ijesa North Federal constituency, One Seun Odofin has fallen into this category of fraudulent practices of impersonating and attaching titles not earned to himself.
5. That the claim of being a lawyer has been rebutted as the Seun Odofin name could not be found on any Of the Nigerian Bar Association website, Supreme Court register and other records that indicates who is a lawyer in Nigeria.
6. That Seun Odofin is hereby challenged to prove otherwise of such allegations and proof against him ,if has earned any law degree in any institution and attended law school in Nigeria.
7. Sequel to this we call on the Inspector General of Nigeria police , ICPC, EFCC and other anti corruption agencies to arrest, investigate and prosecute Seun Odofin to serve as deterrent to others .
Signed.
Segun Odegbile
Convener and National Leader
