A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and lawyer, Kalu Kalu, has alleged that everything about President Bola Tinubu’s academic certificates is shrouded in forgery.
Kalu made the allegation on Monday during a live appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
His remarks followed the publication of the credentials and personal details of all presidential candidates by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Tinubu did not list his primary and secondary school qualifications in the educational details section of the personal particulars he submitted to INEC for the 2027 presidential election.
The ADC chieftain alleged:
“Everything about President Bola Tinubu’s certificate is shrouded in forgery. Today, what do we have in Tinubu’s records? There is no information as to his primary school or his secondary school.
“Our presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, approached the United States to ask for Tinubu’s academic records from Chicago State University, and when the records were released, we found shocking revelations from those documents.
“Tinubu committed false entry into Chicago State University that he attended Government College Lagos and graduated in 1970.
“When we did a search, we found out that the Government College he claimed he attended was established in 1974, four years after he said he graduated from the school.
“Secondly, from the documents released by Chicago State University, Tinubu submitted a GCE certificate from Cambridge University, which was also found to be false. So everything about Tinubu’s certificate is shrouded in forgery.
“Tinubu contested an election in 1999. He deposed on oath that he attended one primary school, Saint Paul’s Primary School in Ibadan. He also deposed in an affidavit that he attended Government College in Ibadan. There is no information as to his primary school and his secondary school,” Kalu said.
