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

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Atiku Abubakar, says he wished to be known by his current name and not by his West African School Certificate which carries the name “Siddiq Abubakar.”

From the documents, SaharaReporters observed that Atiku earned a Master’s degree in 2021 with GCE O’level results. “I would like to know how Atiku with zero academic or creative publications and with zero college level courses suddenly earned a Master’s degree? And the year 2021 is suspect. He quickly scammed Nigeria with a degree he obtained in 2021 because of the presidential election.

“And he was recommended into Brown MFA In playwriting program by another scholar/ playwright who had taught Nilo Cruz before.” Another presidential candidate who claimed to have lost all his certificates is Prince Abdul Malik Ado Ibrahim of the Young People’s Party while the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, submitted an affidavit informing INEC that he changed his name from Siddiq Abubakar as it appears on his West African School Certificate, to Atiku Abubakar.

The affidavit of loss of original certificate, obtained from the High Court of Justice, Delta State, in the Asaba Judicial Division on October 3, 2006 reads in part: “I, Ifeanyichukwu Arthur Okowa, adult, male, Christian, medical doctor and Nigerian citizen of House No. 4, Commissioners’ Quarters, Asaba, Delta State, do hereby make oath and state as follows:

If the law detest change of name, it wouldn't have made any provision for it. So what is a big deal in Atiku changing his name? Did he do it in 2022?. For your information, Sadiq and Abubakar are the same, only that Sadiq is mostly used as a title, while Abubakar is use as a name

All Abubakars r Siddiqs. It means 'the loyal', which history goes back to Abubakar Siddiq, or Sadeeq, the first companion of Prophet Muhammad(SAW). U don't have much case there.

Stories everywhere

Why are you just posting this about your opponent sowore... Kindly get down to basis of convincing the electorate.. This action about certificate saga won't change anything... I wish you luck

HOW CAN A REASONABLE NIGERIAN THINK THAT THE FULANIS ARE EDUCATED AND HAVE CERTIFICATE. YOU CLAIM YOU ARE WISE AND EDUCATED WHILE YOU HAVE BEEN RULED BY ILLITERATES ALL ALONG.

EndBadGovernance

Those of us in Diaspora should get ready to buy a return ticket for next year's election. We need to come home and vote before taking the next flight. Shalom. wevote PeterObi4President Obidient

I don't think name changing for anyone is a crime. I can decide to change my name both surname and first name. It is not a crime to change name. Name changing is not an issue

The issue of MASTERS with GCE. I strongly disagree. Go to his school and make enquiry. And secondly some schools in Europe do admit students for masters with other certificate. Their admission can be based on industry experience.

The main thing is that his surname ABUBAKAR is still there. Unlike tinubu that allegedly change surname and first name

At least abubukar is still there in his surname. Unlike the case of tinubu that used another surname. It's just the first name that changed. People has first, second names, then a surname. Maybe saddiq was or is his middle name.

I plead with Sahara Reporters to stop running people down and concentrate on promoting Sowore, the Saint without blemish.

At least he has GCE O’Level, what of General that didn’t have anything nko?

Both of them are fraudulent none of them is welcome in seat of government but they are the people we hail here & there

I don't support atiku.. bt my question is. Is there any crime in changing names? If it's genuine no, most of you r f**ls

Probably explains their disregard for the Nigerian Educational sector

It is possible. In overseas, years of working experience can be regarded as a Degree.

Then CAPITAL YES to Abdul Kareem Saka. You are the only qualified presidential candidate.

The don't know

These are why they don’t know what to do do after winning , they fight to win but don’t know how to lead

Omg ! What’s all these?

Ehy is that almost all the people aspiring to lead Nigeria are people with dsrk murky pasts and criminal records? How did we get here from being led by the best snd brightest to this descent into the abyss?

Fuck results we need peace not educated thief

Told you guys the king of African con is a flag bearer... but una no go listen.

Abubakar Saddiq is same as sadiq in Islam.

, You have not explained the 'HOW'.

Hahaha.. We are very foolish in this country... Look at the Buffoons governing us...

Afamunruly Nothing wrong with a change of name 🤷‍♀️

😂 Hian

What most ppl don't no is that all abubakars are siddikis. Depending on how you will went to pronounced it.

Dont even know why people listen to this inconsequential media outfit.

Without been sentiment or whatever I don't expect any miracle from anyone except Almighty give us our own messier but My thumb goes for PETERU

Sowore for president 😂🙌

So Is there anywhere in the Nigerian constitution that prevents one from having a change of name..

Yeye country likenigeria

… and we have been trusting these jokers to rule the educated? Education is key everywhere else but in Nigeria. Vote PO and take back Nigeria!

Enough is enough from this illiterate old men full of Forgery, let our Youth revenge and take back this country and also revenge the Toll gate Incident.

Really ,so what do we do then

Nigeria is a crime scene

This is why all these old men should be flush out from our Political space.

we knew he's not a Nigerian, how many of you know that this man speaks french more than the president of Cameroon ? you ppl will still find out more nagative facts.

Sadiq Abubakar is his Cameroon name

Anything is possible in Nigeria

The truth is coming out, Atiku bearing the Name Siddiq Abubakar, got admitted into a UK University for Master's degree with a poor GCE O'level, another unpaid NEPA Bill Certificate loading, APC and PDP have turned NIGERIA into a joke 😜😛😝🤪😋🤣

Nigerian They can make anything possible Yet nothing is working right 🤦🏾‍♂️

The answer is simple. Siddiq sat for the GCE in 1965 and Atiku 'bought' the certificate from him.

All the northern politicians ,whenever you ask them for basic academic result like WAEC , story must come in . Why is it so ?

And Asuu expects these sets of people not to neglect them?

Say no to mediocrity, incompetence, poverty, insecurity and corruption.

GodwinEdwinjos1 Comical country. Comical citizens. Comical leaders. All na same same.🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡😔😔😔

The old o,level and his degree was eating up by goat. Donkey Republic

Expo

There is nothing wrong with changing of name/s though!

Ignorance per excellence! Anyone who bears Abubakar may also be called Sidiq! (The trusted and truthful Abubakar). I support BAT but no Muslim who understands Muslim names will attach any importance to this! It goes no where!

I guess the easiest way for Peter Obi presidency is to disqualify every other candidates. There is no need for election, we should just send Aso rock keys to his mail address.

You can't blame him. Blame inequality in the system.

We still de certificate matter

It is not the education that matters. It is the capacity to bring out Nigerians from their present predicament that is important, please.

Fake leaders everywhere

It is only Nigeria my country you see these : professor saying sir for illiterate Education is nothing here ooo

This people are using someone results

How come all of them except one have one certificate problem or another? This is disgusting and this can only mean we have been ruled by scammers.

U need to visit cross river state and see what Prof. Ben Ayade did with his professorship😂😂😂 in as much as I’m not rooting for Atiku I’m of the opinion that certificate is not a measure for good leadership rather a plus; a good person is a good person . I remain OBIDIENT

Likely he used another person's certificate to secure job in customs. Very common in the North

!! SR,I HOPE THIS NOT BECOMING A POLITICAL PROPAGANDA!!

All this people are illiterate and we're allowing illiterate rule us damn we can't take it anymore

Nawa ooooo, when he wasvi e president this one did not surface, when contesting the presidency in 2015 and 2019 this also did not surface than while now. My brother park well

Nawa for Nigeria leader ooh

I’m not his follower but I don’t think change of name is a crime. Anyone can change they’re names anywhere and any time. This is not even a thing to discuss so let’s stop making this people feel relevant.

Anybody with affidavit as certificate can never support education when elected as president. Let's not deceive our generation

The criminal may have changed name to hide his real identity 🤔

No be lie

God will surely come to our rescue. It's so alarming! 14 new born babies ! Oh that's so alarming. What a gruesome loss. May God deliver us from this cankerworm that has ravaged us for so long as a nation!

Do not look beyond the requirements of the office. GCE is enough and he has got it.

The 1999 Constitution of FRN provides for minimum of School Cert. His GCE is not under contention. Expectedly, he's qualified to contest.

JamesBrown has the answer

Hmm..naija my country things dey happen oo

Gibberish!!!

banji4gunners So you don’t know that someone with a diploma can pass through mphil and obtain a Master’s degree? Another fact is that he might have sworn an affidavit of change of name which is recognisable by law. Please look for better defamation. Tinubu’s own dt is an forgery is overlooked

No wonder ASUU is on strike and they careless

Can Peter really deliver democracy dividends if elected president? How would he navigate the ‘land mines’ from corrupt NASS and civil servants? Could he be the first president to be impeached?

If all or most fulani were like Atiku (educated, moderate, enterprising and nationalist), our country would not be having terrorism issues.

How else can you spell desperacy without ATIKU This man is a c○.n ready to whats left of the already de.d Nigeria!!!! And mor○.ns are saying hes even an option? Fok!! Any elite or educated fella that supports this thing and wee-wee man, ogun kee them!

🤣🤣

Wonderful

Every one knows his a crook, so don't vote for him. Only vote for Mr Peter Obi

Nigeria my country🤣🤣 when you want to know the true story of the relationship between your parents that gave birth to you, join the politics. The question is, 'why cants these our investigative journalist do this in other areas affecting us in the country? '

Fulanized Nigerian polithiefians are masters of forgery, looting and killing machine because they don't have any qualifications. Atiku clamoring to lead the zoo is also fake. Social media will continue to expose their evil. Buhari has no certificate, atiku also, who's next?

chuksdickson Tinubu : My Certificate was stolen Atiku: No Certificate at all The Highest Position of Govt n yet d so called Aspirants hv notn to show except Vibes? Nah Nigns should be blamed 4 Tolerating all dis Mediocres 4 far 2long. They cant be over dosing on our Collective sensibilities.

Wonders shall never end, master's degree GCE, oh my God what a country 👏 😢 😳

Corruptible leaders everywhere.

Atiku and sadeeq or siddeeq are all synonyms of Abubakar. His surname is not even indicated.

peterobi is the new Nigeria

SouthAfrica - How do you and your household utilize mobile phone and Internet technology for Health? Provide your answer in the link above.

Can INEC just disqualify those two criminals in PDP And APC. Those ones should be behind bars and not running for the highest office in the land

Lol

Nigeria is good in bringing mumu and cows to lead human beings just like their dead president.

😂😂😂they all the same

Changing of name is never a crime.

He must be a genius...lmao

And you think you can market SUG presidential candidate YeleSowore like this ba, unu Nile na pu ezigbote ala

Nobody pure for this country I swear, everything na dagbo.

Fake New!

E don happen. None of these old fls would rule or govern Nigeria. I mean THIEFNUBU and ATHIEFKU

There is no problem with that as long as he has his primary school certificate. Atleast, he's better than BAT that couldn't present his certificate & BUHARI that used a NEPA bill. We are OBIdient!!!!

Let stop talking about all these nonsense it is clearly irrelevant. some Igbos are so talented and knowledgeable to lead this country but have no degrees. When a man have attained certain level in life certificate is useless. But if provide forged results I understand we can slam

And he's not a Nigerian by birth.

Wahala for those standing against Peter Obi.

Simply put, hardly any candidate here can produce sound proof of their academic qualifications. What a joke! These are the clear signs and red flags 🚩 that we the people, citizens, voters, must beware of. We need the best of us leading the rest of us, not the other way round. 🇳🇬

Same name

Well at least he go school, but he can't have my vote

Good from Tinubu camp, oya Atiku camp fire back, while Peter Obi gets suppoters

This Sahara reporters need to be taken down. The owner is a presidential candidate and spreading false information. How is it possible to do masters in UK with GCE?

Yeye dey smell 🤣🤣🤣

At this point, na Nigerians know. Anything wey Dem like, make Dem do. Nobody be small pikin for this country again. Even Children know wetin their eyes dey face on a daily. These news aren't really a shock to me anymore. Frivolous!

Miraculous education I say

The man is literate. He can read and write in English and other languages. That is the minimum requirement for the position of the President of the Federal Republic.

Same person in consistent race since when I can not recollect. Do something different please

And some people will be to gollible to believe what just posted? What about his national diploma and the Amadu Bello certificate,so only GCE that he used to joined custom?

Haaaa APC wayo, PDP wayo. What a shame

renoomokri

tunmishe_ Atiku did not attend primary and secondary school. The GCE certificate he submitted is not in his name. Okowa, his running mate, did not submit any WAEC certificate. renoomokri and GazetteNGR have said absolutely nothing about this. If it is not Tinubu, they are not interested.

Like seriously he didn't pass through the four walls of the university like me🤔 He didn't also do the one year NYSC program🤔 Hmmmmmmmmmmm

this is a criminal act...hope is not what am thinking 🤔

Lolllzzz...he is qualified joor..we like it.

😁😁 This drama sha

He's looking for employment?

Changed name as how? Person marry am? renoomokri I’m confused.

AtiKU and TinuBU are both scammers; everybody about is them is shady and shrouded in mystery. Their leadership can not be augur well for Nigerians.

Wonder shall never end.....

These people think we don't have brain .. NIGERIA media will one day make NIGERIANS believe that Satan is God and God is Satan ! Keep cooking we are watching

RenoOmokiri. Dear Reno, what do you have to say about your preferred presidential candidate academic qualification?

Check Next the candidate real name please

Not that it will disqualify any one of them, MBuhari ran on affidavit. Mean while Peter Obi is the game changer

Nigeria is a joke

Another certificate scandal in d torn umbrella flag bearer camp?

Abubakar sidiq, sidiq means truth and Abubakar means friend

Corruption has no limit in Nigeria

Abubakar is short form of Abubakir sidiq

They are both same but better than Tinubu cos that one no get ssce but in all we Obi-dient.

😄😄😄

Why? Dey no go school, but dey are ruling us... Dey can not stand shoulder to shoulder with world leaders... Former US president reject sick president

Me and my village people reading this. Wonders shall never end. These politicians are something else.

So what's trending now na lost certificate

Siddiq vs Yekini🤣🤣🤣

PDP and APC are going nowhere we are done with them PeterObi is the new Nigeria we desire and eagerly await in 2023.

Open the link and weep for Nigeria. Fraudsters want that immunity badly

Everything about him screams fraud

Crooked Atiku 😐

Last week was Tinubu, now it is Atiku. Peter Obi should be scared right now. 🌚😂😂

All of them have skeleton in their cupboard. We have across board leaders who are morally bankrupt. From Asiwaju to Atiku. How can an unrighteous leader give righteous leadership? You see am? If we must get it right, we must ensure that pple with untainted records are voted in

Employed to Nigeria custom Service as Atiku Abubakar, after several yrs, acquired GCE with Siddiq Abubakar and thereafter Master's Degree with Atiku Abubakar.......huh something is not adding up

He will never change. A crook will remain a crook.

Hmm.. O tun tin zeh bayi!.. oya let the digging begins

Kai! All these old politicians should be sweep out of our systems.

Uncle renoomokri will give us more details on this, sir, can this be clarified?

At least he has a GCE which qualifies him to vie for president, unlike Tinubu who says he never attended primary and secondary schools.

Abubakar, Sadik and Garba are same

SAY NO TO ATIKU AND TINUBU BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

Incoming Nigeria President come 2023 Insha Allah

I come in peace.

This False.

Ifb immediately

He has no degree but has a master degree? Is this possible?

Men scammers positioning to disfigure Nigeria.

General elections are approaching, so, we're going to be hearing and seeing all sorts of reports. I believe that someday we will grow pass the approach.

Hello everyone I make and sell footwear your RT n patronage will go a long way for my brand whatsapp no:08090916669

Just imagine

Are you saying he doesn't have bachelors degree but went straight for masters after GCE O'Level? I no get problem with his change of name sha.
