The statement comes amid reports that the honourable
Minister forged his degree certificate purportedly from the University of
Nigeria, Nsukka.

Nnaji is accused of using forged certificates from the
University of Nigeria, Nsukka and the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, when
he was appointed minister in 2023.

NAN reports that a hearing in a suit filed by Nnaji against
the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and others, was, on Monday, stalled at the
Federal High Court in Abuja.

The proceedings in the case, instituted by Nnaji over
controversy about his university certificate, could not go on before Justice
Hauwa Yilwa due to the inability of the lawyer for the UNN and its officers to
file their responses.

Speaking on the matter, Ibe in a post on X on Monday said
President Tinubu should have sacked him and released him for prosecution.

This he said was because the University of Nigeria, Nsukka,
has confirmed that the Minister allegedly forged the institution’s certificate.

He said: “Since the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has
confirmed that Minister Uche Nnaji allegedly forged the institution’s
certificate, which he presented officially for his ministerial appointment, one
would have expected that President Bola Tinubu @officialABAT would have sacked
him and released him for prosecution.”
