The alleged certificate forgery hovering around the governor of Zamfara state, Bello Mohammed Matawalle is alarming, and the facts are damning. It is beyond hyperbole to say the least, for facts don't lie. The emerging facts from the Zamfara State Chief Executive's certificate puzzle reminded me of John Adams' postulation on facts. He opined that "facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."
