Kabir Ibrahim Masari, the running mate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has informed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that his school certificates are missing.
Amidst the controversy surrounding the supposed loss of Tinubu’s credentials, Masari also filed an affidavit for losing some original documents to the nation’s electoral body.
According to Peoples Gazette, the affidavit Masari submitted to INEC showed that he misplaced vital documents, including the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) of one plot, KT 17522 in Katsina state, his Grade II certificate from Katsina Teachers College and his primary school certificate.
It was gathered that the affidavit was sworn by Masari at the Supreme Court and submitted to INEC on July 17, 2022.
The affidavit partly read, “That sometimes (sic) in January 2021, while on transit within Wuse Area, FCT-Abuja, I discovered that my original Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) of Plot, No KT 17522, GRA Katsina, Katsina State; Certificate of Kaduna State Development Centre from 1994 – 1995; Grade II Certificate from Katsina Teachers’ College (KTC) from 1978 – 1983 and First Leaving School Certificate issued by Masari Primary, Katsina State, from 1972 – 1978, got lost.”
“That all efforts made to trace the documents proved abortive hence this affidavit,” the affidavit added.
