The Centre for Reform and Public Advocacy (CFRPA) has filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Kano seeking the disqualification of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from the 2027 presidential election over allegations of certificate forgery.
According to court documents seen by Daily Trust, the plaintiff alleged that Tinubu presented forged academic certificates from Chicago State University and a fake National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the 2023 elections. The suit, marked FHC/K/CS/312/2026, lists Tinubu, INEC, and Chicago State University as defendants. The plaintiff contended that Tinubu never attended Government College Lagos as claimed, noting that the school was established in 1974, four years after Tinubu allegedly graduated. The CSO further argued that Tinubu does not possess a valid secondary school certificate, which is the minimum constitutional requirement to contest for the presidency. It claimed that INEC had failed to act on its petition dated June 19, 2026, demanding clarification on Tinubu’s eligibility. In its statement of claims, the group referenced a 2023 U.S. court ruling in In Re: Application of Atiku Abubakar (No. 23 CV 05099), which compelled Chicago State University to release Tinubu’s academic records.
The plaintiff insisted those records revealed false entries and inconsistencies, including a forged University of Cambridge General Certificate of Education. The prayers asked by the plaintiff included declaration of forgery against Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate, issuance of an order directing INEC to disqualify him from the 2027 presidential election, directing CSU to strike Tinubu’s name from its records and perpetual injunction restraining INEC from uploading Tinubu’s name as a candidate. The plaintiff also submitted affidavits of non-multiplicity of action, witness statements, and letters to the NYSC and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, demanding disclaimers on the alleged fake NYSC certificate.
"I'm not surprised about the recent court case involving the NDC. I know more will happen because there is a grand attempt to ensure that the opposition is weakened before the election. Peter Obi moved to the NDC on May 3, 2026, and the case was filed on May 5, 2026. I know a lot of people had no idea about it."

CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE: America genuinely wants to help and this video is proof.
But the hawks in this regime are busy allowing the “repentant terrorist” program to go on. If that program is not stopped, nothing that anyone does will make a difference. We are being infiltrated daily and they’re shielding it from America
The truth will come out. The USA might be playing along but they know just about everything that’s going on in Nigeria. Waiting for the big turnaround.
Fingers crossed 🤞
