The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) nominee for president in 2023, Atiku Abubakar, presented a secondary school diploma to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), prompting reports about the name on the document.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the outcome displays “Sadiq Abubakar” rather than the well-known Atiku Abubakar, who is also included on the former vice president’s credentials.
Temitope Ajayi, President Bola Tinubu’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, responded to the reports on Tuesday by questioning why Atiku is so determined to learn about Tinubu’s academic record from Chicago State University in the United States while he himself is unsure of his own identity in Nigeria.
Ironically, according to the presidential assistant, Atiku wants Nigerians to embrace the affidavit regarding his own Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) certificate but at the same time wants Nigerians to reject Tinubu’s own explanation.
He also carpeted Atiku for the alacrity in explaining himself.
Taking to his account on the X platform, Ajayi wrote: “Alhaji Atiku Abubakar went to America to look for President Tinubu’s certificate and to also find out whether he went to school as a female or male, why he himself is not even sure of his own name in Nigeria.
“The name on the WASC certificate he submitted to INEC reads Sadiq Abubakar. We have never known him as Sadiq even as a middle name.
“He has already started explaining himself.

“The PDP candidate said he swore to an affidavit to declare that he Atiku Abubakar is the same person who sat for WASC as Sadiq.
“The irony here is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar wants us to accept his explanation as the true and correct situation of his case while President Tinubu should not enjoy same privilege of presenting his own case before Nigerians.
“This life!”
