Nigeria: Atiku's Campaign Challenges Shettima Over Tinubu's School Records
The campaign cited alleged inconsistencies in Tinubu’s school and NYSC records while defending Atiku’s subsidy plan.
- On Monday, Vice President Kashim Shettima criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar at the 32nd Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja, claiming the African Democratic Congress candidate lacks the "skill set to govern a modern economy."
- Shettima disparaged Atiku's proposal to restore petrol subsidies, arguing the plan would force Nigeria to "backslide into primitivity for political convenience," while defending President Bola Tinubu's removal of the subsidy as economically necessary.
- Attacking Atiku's educational background, Shettima noted the candidate trained at the Kano School of Hygiene, asserting he would "find it difficult to distinguish the difference between flu and COVID" and Ebola, questioning his qualifications.
- Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication for the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, fired back, asking, "How did Tinubu graduate before the school he attended was established?" while challenging the President's NYSC records.
- Atiku's camp claims discrepancies exist in documents submitted to Chicago State University, including the name "Tinubu Bola Adekunle" on an NYSC certificate, though disputed entries do not establish the President forged his credentials.
