I Can't Find All My School Certificates - Tinubu’s Temporary VP, Masari, Tells INEC

Kabir Ibrahim Masari who is the dummy running mate to the ruling All Progressive Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has informed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that he lost all his school certificates.

This is following the controversies trailing the supposedly loss of Bola Tinubu’s primary and secondary credentials.

In a sworn affidavit for the loss of some original documents submitted to the electoral commission by Mr Masari revealed that the APC vice presidential candidate had misplaced vital documents including C of O of one plot KT 17522 in Katsina state, his Grade II certificate from Katsina Teachers College and his primary school certificate.

“That sometimes in January 2021, while on transit within Wuse Area, FCT-Abuja, I discovered that my original Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) of Plot, No KT 17522, GRA Katsina, Katsina State; Certificate of Kaduna State Development Centre from 1994 – 1995; Grade II Certificate from Katsina Teachers’ College (KTC) from 1978 – 1983 and First Leaving School Certificate issued by Masari Primary, Katsina State, from 1972 – 1978, got lost,” partly stated the affidavit sworn by Mr Masari at the Supreme Court in July 2021 and submitted to INEC on June 17, 2022.

“That all efforts made to trace the documents proved abortive hence this affidavit,” the affidavit added.

The electoral law mandates candidates to submit their personal credentials that will be published for public scrutiny ahead of elections.
