If you are unique in a particular field, you can go for a master's degree with O'level. Atiku is an expert in corruption, hence the masters'. grin grin

We have agberos in powerful positions. How can we move forward when their interests is priority. Once in power, they quickly look for another agbero who will do their bidding when their tenure elapses.

GreatAxeMan:

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, says he wished to be known by his current name and not by his West African School Certificate which carries the name “Siddiq Abubakar.”
This is not how change of name works. There are procedures for legally changing your name. You just don't submit a document bearing one name and simply attach a letter stating the name you wished to be called.


According to documents displayed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Atiku did not provide information on his primary education.
Then he does not possess the minimum qualification for contesting for the office of the president in Nigeria.


The 1965 West Africa School Certificate (WASC) result presented by him identified the student as Siddiq Abubakar.
Then he needs to support the name change with supporting affidavit and other documents relating to change of name.


He also holds a Master’s degree in International Relations from Anglia Ruskin University in the United Kingdom.

From the documents, SaharaReporters observed that Atiku earned a Master’s degree in 2021 with GCE O’level results.
What name is on the certificate from Anglia Ruskin University? Is it Siddiq Abubakar or Atiku Abubakar? What certificates did he use to gain admission into the said university?

Furthermore Nigerian journalists including Seun and Sowore should also beam their search light on the educational and family background of Atiku Abubakar and not only Bola Tinubu. What primary and secondary schools did he attend? Who are his parents, his brothers and family? where did he depend his childhood and youth? Which qualifications did he use to getting employed into the Nigerian Custom Service?

They also need to dig out his INEC forms he submitted before contesting for the governorship election in 1999 and the ones he submitted in 2017, 2011, 2015 and 2019 presidential elections.

I hope other candidates will take him to court on these grounds.

The answer is simple. Siddiq sat for the GCE in 1965 and Atiku "bought" the certificate from him.

As for his "degree" from East Anglia Ruskin University, it has a reputation as a "diploma mill" meaning an institution that sells degrees to the highest bidder. There was a scandal in the nation of Guyana were a politician called Irfan Ali used a fake degree from the University of East Anglia Ruskin to get political office.

University of East Anglia is a reputable university and shouldn't be confused with the Anglian Ruskin University.

University of East Anglia is different from Anglia Ruskin University. Irfaan Ali used a suspicious certificate from an unheard of school called West Coast Demerara Institution in an attempt to register for his first masters degree in India. I don't know what happened subsequently in that case.
Maybe Atiku bought that certificate from someone because they share the same last name. Its easy to determine. Check his birth records.
But I could have sworn I saw an old picture of Atiku with his classmates from uni somewhere online.

I didn't even collect my own from my primary school and it has closed down

Anybody wey go school in the 50s, 60s, 70s and even 80s wey him certificate complete should thank him stars.

In those years when we did JAMB and WAEC, after the release of results you wait for the posting of your original results through the mail box. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 years to get to the post office then to you. By then admission wey you wan take am process for university don pass.
If you want to write JAMB you go to a designated school where JAMB officials will come and sell the forms.You struggle it out. You fill the form then you boards bus to the island in Lagos (those of us from the Mainland. No be small journey. No be now transport full everywhere). You get to JAMB office in Ikoyi you struggle to submit. When result come out nko? You travel back to Ikoyi, struggle with your slip on a disorderly queue for your score to be written on it. If your score is good you wait for the main result to be posted to you. If it's not good you quickly buy POLYJAMB and see wether you can get admission to polytechnic or college of education.

That means they don't even have an 0-level results (GCE or SSCE), which is the highest qualification to contest for any political positions in Nigeria, including the Sit of Presidency. I only knew Atiku has a diploma and that all. But at the end Atiku will be Naked and death

In Islam all Abubkars are Sadiq, this is very familiar just like how all Buhari are Muhammad, all Ahmad are Tijjani. Incase of name Atiku can't be accused by ignorance but for the Masters degree he should be dealt with mercilessly cool

You are saying nonsense. Is it a honorary degree?

How does being VP qualify you to study for masters with a GCE result? In which school?

If you had said undergrad now, that’s very understandable.

You shut up. You are the one actually writing nonsense. Keep quiet and learn from what he wrote. He wrote the facts

Oh, he isn't your favorite no more, so you're now free to think as a normal human should??

Most Nigerians are hypocrites, you don't want good governance, you just want your favorite in power!

Sahara Reporters is simply mischievous regarding this story.
UK universities don't use 100% academic qualifications. Some enter based on your experience and professional qualifications. I have received unconditional admission offers into MSc from many UK universities with my HND, professional experience and qualifications.
Atiku's 8 years experience as vice president is worth well more than a Master's degree.
