2023: What Atiku Told INEC About His Education, Occupation

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Friday published the particulars of the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.

According to Premium Times, the academic credential of the former vice president raised a few questions.

It was learned that the PDP Presidential candidate in the 2023 race did not provide information on his primary education.

The 1965 West Africa School Certificate (WASC) result presented by Atiku identified the student as Siddiq Abubakar.

Atiku also holds a Master’s degree in International Relations from Anglia Ruskin University in the United Kingdom.

The former vice president, before joining politics, worked with the Nigeria Customs Service until he retired from the agency in 1989 at the rank of Deputy Director.

The records of the presidential candidate over time had shown that he attended Jada Primary School, Adamawa State, but the information was not found on the platform of INEC.

The spokesman to Atiku, Paul Ibe, speaking on the issue with Premium Times, said, “Well, I think it is INEC that you should be making those enquiries to. Whatever it is that they published was not in my hands.

“I don’t know what was submitted to INEC and what was not. So INEC is in the best position to know what it received and what it did not receive.”
