A legal practitioner and a member of Africa Democratic Congress (ADC), Kalu Kalu, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu has no certificate and urged challenged him to present his certificate to Nigerians.

Mr Kalu while appearing on Channels TV on Thursday had alleged that Mr Tinubu submitted forged certificates to INEC in 1999, 2023, and 2026.

“It is not an established fact that Bola Tinubu does not have a primary school certificate and a secondary school certificate. 

“It’s a very simple thing. If he says it’s an allegation, if he says it’s an accusation, let him come out and tell Nigerians, this is my primary school certificate, this is my secondary school certificate,” he said.

Mr Kalu stated that the president had faced accusations of certificate forgery in 1999, 2023 when he stood for presidential election and again in 2026.

“Is it not high time Mr President came out and let Nigerians know, this is who I am.

“This is my primary school certificate, this is my secondary school certificate. Such as we settled this issue once,” he said. 

The ADC member said that Mr Tinubu deposed to the fact that while he was in exile, his property was looted and his certificate was missing.

“In his deposition in 1999. And in the same affidavit, he submitted his ID from C001. He submitted an affidavit that he attended St Paul’s primary school Ibadan, which is false.

“He also submitted an affidavit that he attended the Government College, Ibadan, which is false. He also in the same affidavit, he deposed that he attended University of Chicago, which is false,” he added.
