The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has failed to tender the original certificate of Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu before the Lagos State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.

The tribunal has therefore ordered the examination body to submit its result verification portal back-end server and other information technology infrastructure for forensic analysis of Sanwo-Olu’s results.

The Lagos State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal issued the order based on the request of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Abdulazeez Adediran, that Sanwo-Olu lied on oath in his 2023 form EC9 by presenting a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 2019.

A review of Sanwo-Olu's 2019 Form CF001 found that the stated statement of WAEC result he claimed he sat for in 1981 in Ijebu Ife Community Grammar School, Ogun state, was verified to be invalid on the WAEC result verification portal, according to a statement sent to newsmen on Monday, June 26.

The statement partially read: “While responding to Jandor/ PDP petition, Governor Sanwo-Olu didn’t attach the purported WAEC certificate to counter Jandor/PDP claims, but the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the 4th respondent attached a printout from the same WAEC portal which hitherto confirmed Sanwo-Olu’s purported WAEC result to be non-existent.”

Jandor challenged the integrity of the sudden appearance and of Sanwo-Olu’s WAEC result on the verification portal and subpoenaed WAEC to come and tender the said 1981 WAEC certificate under oath in court.

The WAEC representative who was bid to be in court last week in the oath of witnesses deposed to and sighted said: “I am unable to tender the duplicate copy of the May/June 1981 G.C.E. ‘O’ Level certificate of one Sanwo-Olu Babajide Olusola.”

The witness added that WAEC did not produce counterpart copies of candidates’ certificates nor retain duplicate copies of candidates’ certificates.

The statement added that: “However, a check on the WAEC website revealed that in the event of loss of the WAEC certificate, the council issues an attestation in the form of a CTC, but none of such was issued by WAEC to ascertain the claim of Babajide Sanwoolu, hence the order of the court that WAEC should submit it back end-server and other information technology infrastructure for forensic analysis. This exercise will expose the date and time the sudden appearance of Governor Sanwo-Olu’s purported 1981 WAEC result was ed, as the same result wasn’t there as of APRIL 7th, 2023 when Jandor/PDP filed their petition at the tribunal.”

"...If Tinubu is allowed by the courts to be president, let no one arrest any criminal in Nigeria again. They should let Nigerians live their life anyhow. You can't have a man with shady life as president and expect the people to live honest life...." - Credits to the OP on twitter

Like father, like son. Scion and stock of certificates forgers. Their agbadorian and cassava munching hailers of developer of men and Lagos zombies are missing in action here now.

Yet they constantly assault Peter Obi who graduate with a proud second class lower and without any known certificate issue as an illiterate. Such shamelessness.

Politicians.

It's mostly our sophisticated brothers that are always in one educational/certificate fraud or the other.

But why. Our system of government is wack. He did first 4 years without waec? Or what happened? 70% of apc big politicians are without real certificate

wahala, but not a big deal, Buhari had set a good example

I can see.

All of em are certificateless including bat.

May the certificate that WAEC fail to tender, the annual fee on motorists, the scarcity of forex, the plunging of the Naira, the 40% increment in electricity tariff, the increment in diesel VAT, and the looting of the money recovered from the removal of fuel subsidy favour me and my family 🤡🤡🤡

Him and him boss (jaga) nor get certificate normally

Lolz.. GRV/L.P Still dey worry No man's Land?

Oh na Jandor.. Make e meet form contestants of Lagos GUBER since 1999, my one Cent for him

Wahala , wahala, wahala

Dance of shame. Common WAEC cert, sitting governor no get. The tribunal should sack these guys at once.

Like Father - Tinubu,
Son - Sanwoolu and
NL BMC - Mugus.

Sanwo-Olu certificate racketeering/forgery criminality like his balabloo-blu-bulava godfather Primary/ Secondary schools and Chicago State University Certificate scandals. So much moral burdens for many a so called leader in Nigeria today.

This thing called Technology...

No one critique his qualifications of course.

The same WAEC office that is located at Ogba in Lagos ?

The best option is an out of court settlement.

That's if the petitioner is interested in monetary gain else, Let justice prevail.

" If you must answer his excellence, the process by which you emerge must be excellent.(P.Obi, 2023)"

I really need to be proud of my WAEC certificate. Does it mean majority of these politicians don't have certificates?

lols

Propaganda!!!

Governance is a serious business and not some comedy skit by the PDP deputy governorship candidate and her principal.

In Lagos State in particular, it's so serious than what a chinedu can muster.

Sanwolu will complete his 8 years tenor because he earned it.

We are in an era of SELECTED LEADRES for Nigeria.
Even if Sanwoolu willingly submitted a false certificate under oath to INEC, a technical excuse will be found to ratify his position as governor.
The younger generations of Nigerians are learning from the older generation. Pity those studying Law in Nigeria 🇳🇬 with the hope to practice Law in Nigeria.

Party of Certificate forgers

Chaiii

What is with these politicians and "dagbo"?
Ask me for my waec or gce certificates from donkey years ago, I do not have them but I know the records are there in waec, secondary school or last last UI.
Why all this drama?

Why is it that anyone associated with Tinubu has something fake attached to him?
