The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has called on the Supreme Court of Nigeria to either disqualify President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from office or compel him to resign. This call comes in the wake of allegations of identity theft and certificate forgery against the President.
HURIWA issued a press statement on Tuesday, expressing concerns about the revelation that the academic record used by Tinubu to gain admission into Chicago State University was allegedly from a woman.
The association contends that such an act amounts to identity theft and raises questions about the authenticity of the President's academic credentials. They argue that if the allegations are substantiated, it could undermine the legitimacy of Tinubu's presidency.
HURIWA is urging the Supreme Court to investigate these allegations thoroughly and take appropriate action, which could include disqualification from office or compelling Tinubu to resign if found guilty of identity theft and certificate forgery.
The President's camp has denied these allegations, and this development adds to the growing controversy surrounding Tinubu's academic records and eligibility for office. The situation remains fluid as the legal and political implications unfold.
