A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and lawyer, Kalu Kalu, petitions the European Union Commission in Brussels, accusing Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu of certificate forgery and related alleged violations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Kalu presents the petition after claims that Tinubu submitted purportedly forged academic credentials to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). He also alleges Tinubu did not disclose parts of his education history, citing Section 137 of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution. The sources describe the move as part of wider controversy around Tinubu’s academic records and as an argument by opposition figures that the allegations could undermine Nigeria’s democratic process.
Across the outlets, the core account is the same: the petition is filed in Brussels on a Friday by Kalu Kalu, and it is framed as both a certificate-related issue and an alleged constitutional breach. The sources differ mainly in the emphasis of wording—such as “subversion” or “suspension” of the constitutional order—but they do not provide additional supporting evidence or responses from the EU or the Tinubu administration in the reported material.
