Forgery Allegation: Atiku Explains The Presence Of ‘Sadiq Abubakar’ On His WAEC Certificate
Peoples Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has addressed the discrepancies in his Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) certificate, reports Readership NG.
Atiku’s response was conveyed by his aide, Dele Momodu, in a post on his X social media platform on Tuesday. This clarification was deemed necessary due to forgery allegations raised against Atiku by members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Critics from the APC had raised concerns about the name “Sadiq Abubakar” appearing on Atiku’s WAEC certificate, which differed from his other academic credentials.
In response, Momodu revealed that he had relayed these allegations to the former Vice President, who subsequently provided an explanation for the inconsistency.
Momodu wrote, ”The APC busybodies have been bombarding me with allegations of forgery against my Principal, ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR (GCON), which I immediately forwarded to him and here is his copious response: ‘Yes I used Sadiq Abubakar to sit for my WAEC and after passing my exams I went to swear an affidavit to say I am the same person as ATIKU Abubakar. I went to ABU as Atiku Abuakar and passed my Exams as Atiku Abubakar. Interviewed as Atiku Abubakar by the Federal Civil Service Commission and hired into the Customs Service as Atiku Abubakar. So where is forgery there?’ – ATIKU ABUBAKAR
”CAN THE APC social media bullies forward the deluge of questions in circulation to their boss and get instant and direct response…
I SALUTE ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR…”
