Tinubu to aid his qualification for the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe said certificates, which formed part of President Bola A. Tinubu\u2019s INEC Form EC9, are hereby annexed and marked as \u2018Exhibit INEC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be recalled that in 2023, an American court, in a discovery case \u2014 particularly In re: Application of Atiku Abubakar (No. 23 CV 05099), coram Honourable Nancy L. Maldonado \u2014 directed Chicago State University to release academic records of President Bola A. Tinubu to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe said academic records are hereby annexed and marked as \u2018Exhibit CSU\u2019.\u00a0 Upon release of the said academic records, the following was discovered: that President Bola A. Tinubu:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMade false entries on his Chicago State University admission form, wherein he claimed that he attended Government College Lagos in 1960 and graduated in May 1970, when indeed Government College Lagos was established in 1974;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForged a University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate General Certificate of Education in 1970. Please see pages CSU 0022 and CSU 0024 of \u2018Exhibit CSU\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is on the basis of the foregoing that we respectfully write to you requesting a legal clarification of the effects of President Bola A. Tinubu\u2019s certificate, obtained by fraud from Chicago State University, and his forged NYSC Discharge Certificate, on President Bola A. Tinubu\u2019s 2027 presidential bid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is worthy of note that we have written to the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, requesting that the NYSC issue a disclaimer on the forged NYSC Discharge Certificate that President Bola A. Tinubu is parading as genuine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAttached are copies of the said letters, marked as \u2018Exhibit Letters\u2019.\u00a0 As a Professor of Law and a well-respected Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, it is imperative that you use your wealth of experience and knowledge to resolve this lingering issue surrounding the ineligibility of President Bola A. Tinubu to contest the 2027 presidential election, considering the legal implications of the above-named forged certificates he submitted to INEC in 2023, in relation to Section 137(1)(j) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), as well as Section 285(14) of the said Constitution, which envisages the power of the Commission to disqualify candidates for election who are ineligible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a litmus test for you, to determine how neutral you will be in the conduct of future elections in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTAKE NOTICE that, in the event you fail to make INEC\u2019s legal position public on this request, we will initiate legal action to stop INEC from receiving and\/or accepting the name of President Bola A. Tinubu as the presidential candidate of the APC, as he has no other academic certificate to present to INEC, since President Bola A. Tinubu does not have any primary or secondary school certificates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are hopeful that you will heed our request and allow wise counsel to prevail in the circumstances.\u00a0 INEC is constitutionally and statutorily mandated to regulate the activities of political parties in Nigeria and conduct elections into elective offices, which includes accepting and\/or granting access codes to political parties to upload candidates\u2019 names into the INEC online portal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy virtue of Section 137(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), any candidate who presents a forged certificate to INEC is not qualified to contest for the office of President of Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/06\/2027-presidential-poll-group-petitions-inec-over-tinubus-eligibility-demands-certificate-probe\/\">2027 presidential poll: Group petitions INEC over Tinubu\u2019s eligibility, demands certificate probe<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>, <\/p>\n<p>A fresh\u00a0petition before INEC has sought to reopen an investigation into the educational qualifications President Bola Tinubu <\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/06\/2027-presidential-poll-group-petitions-inec-over-tinubus-eligibility-demands-certificate-probe\/\">2027 presidential poll: Group petitions INEC over Tinubu\u2019s eligibility, demands certificate probe<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>, <!-- no image -->, Oboh, {authorlink},, , Vanguard News, June 22, 2026, 2:28 am<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2027 presidential poll: Group petitions INEC over Tinubu\u2019s eligibility, demands certificate probe, By Ikechukwu Nnochiri, ABUJA A fresh\u00a0petition before the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has sought to reopen an investigation into the educational qualifications President Bola Tinubu used to secure clearance to contest the 2023 presidential election.
