ATIKU ABUBARKAR'S CERTIFICATE FORGERY ALLEGATION: More Posers For Dele Momodu


Chief Dele Momodu's passion and unwavering support for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the current Osun Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke is admirable. However, the air he claims has been cleared over the lingering controversy surrounding Atiku Abubakar's educational background is still hanging. I implore him to go back to our former Vice President after reading this piece for more clarification.

*The Atiku WAEC Certificate Saga;*

At Jada Primary School, his name was registered as Atiku Kojoli

At Adamawa Provincial Secondary School, he registered as Atiku Abubakar

But when he was to join Nigerian Customs, he presented a WAEC certificate that belong to 'Siddik Abubakar'. He them went to court to obtain an affidavit. The Affidavit read :Sadiq Abubakar (not Siddik as contained on WAEC certificate) is same person as Atiku Abubakar.

At ABU Diploma in Hygiene, he bears Atiku Abubakar 

Then he went to obtain a postgraduate certificate (miraculously without a undergraduate certification) from Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.

He presented to INEC, a WAEC certificate that bears Siddik Abubakar and a Postgraduate certificate without any undergraduate certification

However, a search at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, said that they don't have Atiku Abubakar's name as a postgraduate student in the school at any point in time.

Atiku obviously have more questions to answer……….

These are my concerns: One, I know that in Osun a certain People's Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, who is a serving commissioner in the current administration told us he obtained an HND before obtaining his OND. Is that the same case with Atiku because I hear he holds a Master's degree at the moment. But most Nigerians, including this writer is not informed about where and how he obtained his first degree that qualified him for the master's programme in International Relations, in the Anglia Ruskin University in the United Kingdom, where he was said to have graduated from in 2021. So, we need to know.

Two, I am aware that the former Vice President was at the Police College, Kaduna but had to drop out because he had no evidence to show that he passed Mathematics subject at the O'level sitting. So, which result eventually qualified him to be admitted into the School of Hygiene, Kano ? Chief Dele Momodu should tell Nigerians.

Three, the PDP presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, claimed that he attended the Institute of Administration, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, for a diploma in Law. The question is, which certificate qualified him for that programme? Was it the Diploma from School of Hygiene, Kano? Or the O'level that forced him to abandon the programme at the Police College, Kaduna because of the 'missing Mathematics in his submitted O'level result,' or another WAEC certificate? 

Four, Atiku is the nickname for Abubakar. From his own story, he told us his father was Garba Abubakar, who was said to have drowned while crossing a river to the neighbouring village, known as Toungo, may Allah grant him Aljanah firdaus, but the former Vice President never told us he is Abubakar Abubakar. So, my senior colleague, Chief Momodu needs to educate us further on this as well.

Five, there are reports of a WAEC certificate that Atiku claimed to have earned after receiving a Diploma. Is that correct? Provide further and better particulars to show that indeed, the man you are marketing is free of blemish.

Six and finally, who is Siddiq or Sadik Abubakar if assuming without conceding that Siddiq or Sadik is the same as Abubakar. Is our former Vice President Abubakar Abubakar?

Dear Chief Dele Momodu, the concerns surrounding Atiku Abubakar's educational history and credentials are pertinent and deserve further clarity. These questions should be addressed transparently to clear any doubts and ensure the accuracy of his public record. God bless you as you do, sir.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...

THE ENDURING LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP: Chief James Ibori Celebrated for His Impact on Delta State

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. As each dignitary was introduced, the church remained silent. However, the atmosphere dramatically changed when the name of Former Governor James Ibori was announced; the congregation erupted in wide jubilation and applause. This reaction was so profound that even Senator George Akume and Governor Obaseki could not hide their astonishment. The enthusiastic reception for Chief James Ibori during this solemn occasion highlighted his enduring legacy among the people of Delta State. Despite having left office seventeen years ago, he continues to be celebrated whenever he attends public functions i...
