Aisha Yesufu, a human rights activist, said on Saturday that the country’s flawed electoral system has allowed more pupils to engage in exam malpractice.
She tweeted in response to a thread started by former minister of state for labour and employment, Festus Keyamo.
“What she needs is counselling, correction and guidance. She obviously did not know the weight and gravity of what she was doing. As teenagers, most of us made juvenile mistakes that never came to light.
But Ms Yesufu, in an attempt to politicise the matter, said issues arising from the country’s electoral system may have prompted pupils like Ms Mmesoma to forge her result, saying, “If Tinubu can do it, why not they?
“Tinubu fraudulently occupying the highest political office in the land through forgery and rigging is what is most unfortunate and has given room for more children to say if Tinubu can do it, why not they?
“Reason Nigerians must focus on the judiciary to do the needful!,” her tweet reads.
