Reports indicate that Abayomi Arabambi, a prominent figure within the Labour Party, has significantly escalated his efforts to obtain official documentation pertaining to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and the University of Nigeria. Arabambi has confirmed that he has formally submitted requests to both institutions and has declared his readiness to pursue legal avenues should his information demands remain unmet. During a recent interview on Arise News, Arabambi elaborated on his strategy, revealing that his legal counsel is poised to dispatch reminder letters to both the NYSC and the University of Nigeria.
He adamantly stated that his pursuit of this information is not a plea for leniency but a firm assertion of a legal right, underscoring the statutory obligation of public bodies to furnish relevant documents upon request.The Labour Party stalwart passionately advocated for the paramount importance of transparency and accountability within governmental agencies and academic institutions. He argued vehemently that no public entity should operate with impunity by withholding information from the Nigerian populace. Arabambi further articulated his preparedness to initiate legal proceedings against the responsible officials of these institutions should they disregard the impending reminder letters.
Arabambi clarified that this issue is not a nascent concern, recalling his initial public pronouncements on the certificate-related allegations during a previous Arise News appearance in 2023. He expressed a strong conviction that the matter has transcended the realm of mere media discourse and necessitates resolution through established legal and institutional frameworks. Reflecting on his personal political choices during the 2023 general election, Arabambi conveyed a sense of profound disappointment and regret regarding his vote.
He asserted that the ongoing lack of resolution concerning the requested documents has solidified his belief that a comprehensive and impartial investigation is not only warranted but essential.Quoting Arabambi directly, he stated, “I have written to NYSC, and my lawyer will write to them again, a reminder. We have written to the University of Nigeria.
I am not begging them to release it, but once we give them a letter of reminder and they fail, we commit them to prison. This is our country. People must not be hiding information. I said this in 2023 — I wasted my vote then, which I am not going to do again.” Arabambi reiterated his commitment to seeing this matter addressed through lawful procedures, emphasizing the non-negotiable duty of institutions entrusted with public records to maintain openness and accountability in their response to information requests.For further context and visual details, the relevant segment of the Arise News interview can be viewed from the 08:29 to 10:29 mark.
