“People in England are telling me now that nurses are going to have to do their nursing qualification examination because we have now become a nation of cheaters. Do you know why? We have now become a nation of duplicitous people.

The PDP chieftain also aimed a dig at the American institution at the centre of the whole controversy.

He said:

“Must we now get to a position in the world where we are sending thousands of emails to one institution to ask for the same record that could have been produced?
“Did you read the deposition? Even the school itself must bury its head in shame. The school has a right to say ‘This is totally the position we have and be unambiguous about it.’ They can’t write that the deposition in a manner.”
