Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Public Communications to the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has said there is no hiding place for President Bola Tinubu over his certificate scandal.
Shaibu disclosed that Atiku is determined to expose Tinubu for not having a certificate.
He noted that Tinubu’s academic records from primary school till university remained questionable.
In a statement, he said Tinubu’s failure to identify a single former classmate, hence his educational qualification is questionable.
According to Shaibu: “In the last week, Nigerians have been watching the ongoing ministerial screening at the Senate where nominees have been made to reveal their primary, secondary and university history. Some of the ministerial nominees were even classmates with the senators screening them.
“However, the man who nominated them has no educational history. He has no primary school, secondary school or university classmates. This is because he has no classmates. He actually fell from the sky.
“This is a man whose entire life, background and credentials remain unknown and Atiku will ensure that the man is exposed.
Shaibu stressed that the president’s life history must be above board.
“Unfortunately, here we have a president whose history is shrouded in secrecy and for whom it is as though his life started in 1993.
“The moment of truth is here and President Tinubu has no hiding place.”
