African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore alleges that President Bola Tinubu submitted different academic documents to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2027 election than those Tinubu presented in 1999. Sowore told journalists that the university certificate Tinubu provided to INEC—linked to Chicago State University—differs from the version Tinubu allegedly showed in 1999 when he contested and was elected governor of Lagos State. He warns voters not to support candidates without verifiable educational records. The claims come after INEC published credentials and other details of presidential candidates vying for the presidency, an action referenced by both outlets. Both reports also note public controversy around Tinubu’s missing primary and secondary school certificates, with critics citing the issue as raising additional questions about his educational qualifications. The outlets do not report any official response from Tinubu or INEC to Sowore’s allegation in the provided material.
