There was drama on Friday at the Presidential Election Petitions Court on Friday morning as the court admitted certified copies of academic certificates of President Bola Tinubu tendered by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
GWG.ng reports that the documents include a B.Sc certificate from the Chicago State University, NYSC Discharge Certificate, and Mobil Nigeria Oil Plc certificate of service said to be obtained by President Bola Tinubu, however, bore the names of Bola Adekunle Tinubu.
Counsels to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, All Progressives Congress, APC and the counsel to Tinubu strongly opposed the presentation of the documents.
