Tuesday, August 4, 2026 -A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu’s inability to provide his primary and secondary school certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, disqualifies from being Nigeria’s president.
Okonkwo charged Tinubu to respect the Nigerian law governing
qualifications into universities.
INEC had published credentials and other details of all
presidential candidates contesting in the 2027 elections.
Tinubu had presented only his university certificate, while
that of his primary and secondary were missing.
This has raised a widespread concern from Nigerians, raising
fresh questions about his educational qualifications.
However, Okonkwo posted on X: “Nigeria has its laws that
should be respected. No Nigerian is qualified to go to university without 5
credits at the O’ Level.
“Tinubu purporting to be qualified for President by
providing a foreign University certificate, which the University publicly
declared did not emanate from it, without providing his secondary school
certificate or its equipment disqualifies him from being President.
“The only reason our democracy is in peril is because of
judicial rascality.
“Despite all warnings by the Chief Justice of Nigeria and
the National Judicial Council (NJC), some judges have operated as an island on
their own, interpreting the laws they made on the bench, bereft of the
imprimatur of the legislature.
“The judges have usurped the powers of the executive and the
legislature from the bench with the instrumentality of perverse judgement.”
