President Bola Tinubu has filed a counter-appeal at the Supreme Court, levelling serious accusations against his political rival, Atiku Abubakar.
In the suit, Tinubu alleged that Atiku submitted fake certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The allegations put forth by the President claimed that Atiku used different names on two key academic certificates.
According to the President’s legal team, Atiku was said to have used the name “Atiku Kojoli” on his primary school certificate and the name “Siddiq Abubakar” on his 1965 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) certificate.
Tinubu submitted his counter affidavit to the apex court on October 12 at 4:42 pm.
It read:
“It is the 1st appellant’s acclaimed primary school certificate bearing the name ‘Atiku Kojoli’ and his purported 1965 West African School Certificate and General Certificate of Examination bearing the name ‘Siddiq Abubakar’ (as opposed to the name ‘Atiku Abubakar’, which he claims to Nigerians and INEC to be his) that are yet to be explained by Jeda Primary School Adamawa (which he claimed to have attended), the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate, West African Examination Council or such other credible institution with the capacity to so do.
“Now shown to me, attached hereto and marked as Exhibit 9, is a copy of the said Siddiq Abubakar’s 1965 West African School Certificate and General Certificate of Examination, submitted by the 1st appellant.”
