Former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye raises new doubts about President Bola Tinubu’s education, ahead of the 2027 elections. In posts on X reported by multiple outlets, Melaye claims Tinubu did not submit primary or secondary school certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). He questions how Tinubu secured admission abroad if, as he alleges, those foundational certificates were not provided. Melaye’s argument is linked to what he says Tinubu submitted to INEC, which he characterizes as lacking primary and secondary school documentation.
The claim comes amid renewed public scrutiny of Tinubu’s academic credentials. The outlets note that similar questions about his education were also raised during the 2023 presidential campaign. Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate in 2027, won the 2023 election against Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
