Aisha Yesufu, a sociopolitical activist, has weighed in on the certificate controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu.
Yesufu suggested that Nigerians should offer an apology to Mmesoma Ejikeme, who forged her Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) result, if Tinubu remains in office. She advocated for Mmesoma to be granted a scholarship.
The activist raised doubts about the legitimacy of Tinubu’s presidency, citing concerns about his alleged certificate forgery.
Yesufu expressed her views on the matter by stating: “If Tinubu is not removed, then Nigeria should apologize to Mmesoma and give her a scholarship. If we want to be mad as a Nation, then let’s be proudly mad. Isn’t Tinubu fraudulently occupying the office of the President not derogatory to Nigerians, or is it the certificate forgery saga that is not derogatory?”
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, had launched an effort to expose Tinubu for alleged certificate forgery. Atiku claimed that Tinubu falsified the certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and that he never attended the Chicago State University (CSU). However, CSU had confirmed Tinubu’s admission and graduation from the institution, contradicting Atiku’s allegations.
