• NADECO faults BBC on President’s certificate as chancellor, CSO kick President Bola Tinubu has told the Supreme Court that the petition by presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party against the February 25 election is a mere blockbuster with thrilling suspense.

Tinubu, in a response filed on his behalf by a senior advocate, Wole Olanipekun, said the appeal has no legs to stand upon or wings to fly to the direction being sought by the PDP presidential candidate. Tinubu asserted that while Atiku claimed to have won the majority of lawful votes cast at the election, he never gave the figure he scored.

It accused BBC of fast losing ethical and journalistic pedigree in a bid to launder the President’s image. But NADECO said: “If the CSU’s registrar, under oath, unequivocally affirmed that the certificate submitted by Mr. Tinubu to INEC is not from their institution, signifying the unequivocal act of forgery, what would BBC call that? Astonishingly, BBC chose to disseminate its own version of the story, specifically designed to deceive the enlightened Nigerian public.”

Also, a coalition of civil society organisations, led by Ogbole Ene Lilian, at a press conference in Abuja, declared: “We are convinced beyond every reasonable doubt that Tinubu submitted authentic academic certificates and valid information to INEC, and if anyone has doubt over his submissions, the responsible thing to do is come forth with evidence to the contrary.
