Lawyer demands Tinubu resign over missing school certificates, calls for proof
Lawyer Kalu Kalu of the African Democratic Congress told Channels Television that President Bola Tinubu lacks primary and secondary school certificates, describing it as an 'established fact' and urging the president to either publish the documents or resign. He said the controversy, first raised by legal icon Gani Fawehinmi in 1999 and dismissed by the Supreme Court on technical grounds, resurfaced during the 2023 election and is again debated in 2026. Kalu argued that releasing the certificates would settle the matter once and for all.
President Tinubu has repeatedly said he meets constitutional requirements to hold office, and courts have rejected challenges to his qualification. The presidency has consistently defended his eligibility. The renewed call adds pressure on the administration amid ongoing public scrutiny of leaders' credentials.
Will Tinubu respond by releasing his school records to silence critics, or will the demand for his resignation gain traction among opposition and citizens questioning his eligibility?
