Paul Ibe, the media adviser to the presidential flag-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Monday said that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 election, “lied under oath” regarding his education history.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that critics have said Tinubu failed to present his certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) because he used a different name in primary school.
Revisiting the controversy, Ibe wrote on his verified Twitter handle: “In 1999 Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT lied under oath in his @inecnigeria form CF001 when he claimed to have attended The University of Chicago @UChicago & Govt College Ibadan. But the attached notarised document 1 proves beyond reasonable doubts that Tinubu lied under oath and by the interpretation of the Supreme Court forged documents pertaining to his claim of attending University of Chicago and Government College, Ibadan.
“The certified true copy of his own affidavit (documents 2 to 4) is hereby placed side-by-side with the notarised document to show that he did not only lie on oath but forged the documents.
“Yes, it is 30 years since Bola Tinubu lied under oath, but crime does not rot.”
