Tinubu: You Don’t need a certificate to be president of Nigeria – Adeniyi Akintola
Adeniyi Akintola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and legal advisor to the APC, states that the Nigerian Constitution does not mandate a presidential candidate to hold a certificate.
He made this statement during an interview with Arise News while speaking about the controversy over Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate submitted to INEC, stating that a certificate is not a requirement according to the Nigerian Constitution.
According to Akintola “Somebody was talking of embarrassment, but for me, I am not embarrassed and neither is any of our client embarrassed. We are prepared for them, we have watched them doing that before. They did it against President Buhari: speaking about his certificate, and the Constitution is very clear, you don’t even need a school certificate to become president of Nigeria”.
“I have several certificates, three university degrees, and I can decide to submit one or submit all. Our electoral act doesn’t even demand that from any candidate”……………………………..CONTINUE READING
Speaking further Adeniyi Akintola said, “This same Tinubu has been investigated over and over again. We tendered it at the tribunal the letter written by the US (Sic), Obasanjo made inquiries in the United States and he was replied that Tinubu has no criminal issues”.”……………………………..CONTINUE READING
