The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday, responded to critics over his Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) certificate.
According to one of the aides of the former Vice President, Dele Momodu gave the clarification in a post on X platform.
Dele stated that the clarification was necessary following allegations of forgery against Atiku by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He noted that some members of the ruling party had questioned the name ”Sadiq Abubakar” in Atiku’s WAEC certificate as against his other credentials.
Momodu said he forwarded the accusations to the former Vice President, who also provided an answer for the allegation.
