All Progressives Congress member Joe Igbokwe has expressed his disapproval of presidential candidate of the 2027 African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, attempting to prevent President Bola Tinubu from running in the upcoming election. Earlier, it was reported that Atiku had petitioned the Federal High Court in Abuja to invalidate Tinubu's participation in the 2027 presidential race.
The former vice president is challenging Tinubu's eligibility based on an alleged forgery of the president's National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, discharge certificate, which Atiku claims bears an incorrect name on it. Atiku alleges that the NYSC certificate submitted to INEC lists Tinubu as "Bola Adekunle" while his actual name is "Bola Ahmed Tinubu."
Reacting to the situation, Igbokwe took to Facebook to call Atiku's actions childish, accusing him of corruption. "Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is asking PBAT to produce his NYSC Certificate. Oro pe si je. The corrupt Custom man is not done yet. This is becoming childish. 'Atiku Abubakar knows that Nigerians cannot trust him with the Treasury of Nigeria,'" Igbokwe wrote.
