Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has alleged discrepancies in credentials submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by President Bola Tinubu.

The activist, who addressed journalists on Monday, claimed that the university certificate Tinubu submitted to the electoral body ahead of the 2027 elections differs from the one he presented in 1999 when he contested and was elected governor of Lagos State.

Sowore warned Nigerians against voting for individuals who have no verifiable academic records.

“The APC candidate only presented a paper from Chicago State University, which was different from the paper he presented in 1999,” he said.
 

INEC on Friday published credentials and other details of all presidential candidates vying for the country’s top job.

There has been widespread outrage over President Tinubu’s missing primary and secondary school certificates, raising fresh questions about his educational qualifications.
