Nigerian political party, The Action Peoples Party (APP) have revealed it will challenge the academic qualifications of Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
This follows the trail of alleged irregularities in the academic qualifications and documents submitted by Tinubu to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The chairman of APP, Uche Nnadi, revealed that the party had enough facts to prove its case noting that the publication of the list of candidates for the 2023 elections showed that the APC presidential candidate was not eligible to contest in the forthcoming elections as his forms allegedly contain false information.
“Tinubu denies attending primary and secondary but claims a university degree in the new forms INEC published today (Friday)," he was quoted as saying by Leadership newspaper.
“Tinubu commits perjury as he abandons his earlier claim of attending primary school, sworn in an affidavit to run for governor but now claims not to have attended primary school.
“Tinubu’s new forms contradict his 2007 affidavit that he had primary school and secondary.
“Tinubu’s new declaration in new INEC forms of not attending primary and secondary school is false information, in view of earlier nomination forms of 2007 on oath containing alleged controversial primary and secondary schools he claimed to have.”
