President BolaTinubu wants Mr Abubakar to explain the names “Atiku Kojoli” on his primary school certificate and “Siddiq Abubakar” on his 1965 WASSCE.
According to Mr Tinubu’s counter affidavit filed at the apex court on October 12, and seen by Peoples Gazette, the Nigerian leader accused Mr Abubakar of submitting fake credentials to Nigeria’s electoral commission, INEC, in that he bore “Atiku Kojoli” on his primary school certificate and “Siddiq Abubakar” on his 1965 West African School Certificate and General Certificate of Examination (WASSCE).
While The Gazette had previously reported a change of name affidavit showing that Mr Abubakar in August 1973 legally regularised his name from Siddiq Abubakar to Atiku Abubakar, there is no clear explanation for the other name, “Atiku Kojoli.”
