2027: Tinubu dragged before EU Commission over 'certificate forgery'

Atiku asks a court to bar Tinubu from the 2027 race, saying the president submitted a forged NYSC discharge certificate to INEC.

  • On Friday, ADC chieftain Kalu Kalu submitted a petition to the European Union Commission in Brussels, alleging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu submitted forged academic credentials to the Independent National Electoral Commission for the 2027 elections.
  • Separately, ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking to disqualify Tinubu over alleged forgery of his National Youth Service Corps discharge certificate.
  • Plaintiffs claim the NYSC certificate submitted to INEC bears the name "Tinubu Bola Adekunle," which they said differs from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's name, violating Section 137 of the 1999 Constitution.
  • Reacting to the suit, All Progressives Congress chieftain Joe Igbokwe dismissed the legal challenge as "childish" in a Facebook post, questioning Atiku's trustworthiness regarding Nigeria's treasury.
  • ADC chieftain Fabiyi Oladimeji emphasized a newly formed coalition of 100 prominent political stakeholders, asserting that only Atiku has the capacity to challenge Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
