ADC Defends Atiku, Challenges Shettima on Tinubu's Records

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) stated that there is no shame in the academic records of its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. The party emphasized that Atiku successfully completed his education and built a career through hard work.

In response to Vice President Kashim Shettima's mockery of Atiku's attendance at the Kano School of Hygiene, the ADC challenged Shettima to clarify discrepancies in President Bola Tinubu's academic records. Specifically, they pointed out that a document from Tinubu's Chicago State University records lists him as graduating from Government College Lagos in 1970, four years before the school was established in 1974.

The ADC also raised questions about the name discrepancy on Tinubu's National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate. They criticized Shettima for attacking Atiku's education instead of addressing pressing issues like the cost of living crisis in Nigeria.

The ADC's statement came after Shettima's comments at the 32nd Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja.
