Atiku Denies Forging His Waec Certificate

The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has explained the discrepancies in his Ordinary Level (O Level) Certificate.

In a post on his X platform, Atiku offered the clarification through one of his aides and former Presidential aspirants of the party, Dele Momodu.

According to Momodu, the clarification follows allegations of forgery against his principal by All-Progressives Congress (APC) members, who had questioned the name” Sadiq Abubakar” in Atiku’s WAEC certificate as against his other credentials.

Momodu said Atiku used Sadiq Abubakar to sit for WAEC, and after passing the exams, he swore to an affidavit that he was the same person as Atiku Abubakar.

He went further that the former Vice President attended Ahmadu Bello University as Atiku Abubakar, passed with the name, and got into the Customs Service as Atiku Abubakar.

However, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, faulted the result.

Kano Dams Under Distress, Threatening Food Security

Farmers’ hope of sustaining all-year production with predicted bumper yields is under peril, with no less than 21 dams already in disrepair.

Furthermore, the bulk of dams built more than 40 years ago have been abandoned by successive governments, thus jeopardizing the country’s food security.

Governor Abba Kabiru Yusuf, who revealed the dreadful status of the state’s dams, detailed the current administration’s frantic attempts to repair the irrigation system in order to meet both the agricultural and human demands of the people.

Gov. Yusuf made the revelation while receiving Minister of Water and Sanitation, Professor Joseph Terlumum Utsev, on courtesy at the government house in Kano, as represented by deputy Comrade Aminu Abdussalam.

In order to solve the acute supply of drinking water, the governor intimated that his administration has taken a great step to resuscitate the various sources of water works and irrigation systems.

Although the Governor stated that the efforts are already bearing fruit, particularly in the bumper crop of farm produce and the availability of clean water to 55% of the population, he also stated that the situation of dams in Kano remains a major danger to food security in the state.
