Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent figure in the African Democratic Congress, argues that President Bola Tinubu is legally unfit to hold office because he failed to submit primary and secondary school records to the Independent National Electoral Commission. As the electoral body released the documentation for 2027 presidential hopefuls, the absence of Tinubu’s earlier education credentials sparked significant public debate.
Okonkwo emphasized that Nigerian standards mandate O’ Level credits for university admission. He highlighted the controversy surrounding Tinubu’s foreign degree, which institutions have disputed, and argued that the lack of foundational school records undermines his presidential qualification. Furthermore, Okonkwo blamed the current state of the nation’s democracy on judicial misconduct, suggesting that certain judges have overstepped their authority by creating and enforcing their own interpretations of the law, independent of the legislative branch.
