Shittu in the new scandal was said to have dodged the scheme mainly because of his election as a member of the Old Oyo state House of Assembly during the second republic.
We however gathered that the Saki-born graduate of University of Ife now (Obafemi Awolowo University (Ile-Ife) was screened and cleared on Friday despite the NYSC saga by the screening committee at the National Headquarters of the party in Abuja.
Head of Special Tasks for Adebayo Shittu’s Campaign Organization, Mr. Malik Aderogba, who confirmed this to DAILY POST, added that Shittu was cleared because he met up with the requirements required by the committee.
Malik, a cousin to the Minister in a telephone conversation with DAILY POST on Friday added that Shittu was ready to contest the election despite criticism from opposition.
He said, “Yes, he was screened and cleared today, this afternoon. He has been cleared because he met up the required documents.
“On the issue of NYSC, you know he had served in the state House of Assembly, are they saying that NYSC is more of service that serving in the state House of Assembly? Serving the state is even more than the NYSC.”
