A group has formally petitioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) requesting a renewed investigation into President Bola Tinubu’s academic credentials. The petition specifically questions Tinubu’s eligibility to contest the 2027 presidential election. The group is demanding that INEC probe the authenticity of the certificates presented by the President. This is not the first challenge to Tinubu’s educational qualifications, as similar disputes arose during the 2023 election cycle. The petition seeks to clarify any discrepancies and ensure compliance with constitutional requirements for presidential candidates. INEC has yet to respond publicly to the new petition. The move introduces potential legal challenges as the 2027 election approaches.
