The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has issued a call for the Supreme Court of Nigeria to either disqualify President Bola Tinubu from office or mandate his resignation. This request stems from allegations of identity theft and certificate forgery.
HURIWA made the call, following revelations that the academic records from South-West College, which Tinubu had used for admission into Chicago State University (CSU), were purportedly linked to a female individual. The civil society group pointed to documents released by CSU to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who was contesting Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential election in a US court. These documents reportedly showed that Tinubu had been enrolled as a female student under the name Bola Adekunle Tinubu.
The organization described this as a shocking and shameful case of identity theft and certificate forgery, which has exposed Tinubu as a “fraud and a liar, who has deceived Nigerians for decades”, adding that Tinubu has no moral or legal right to continue to occupy the highest office in the land, having violated the constitution and the electoral laws of Nigeria.
HURIWA further accused Tinubu of being involved in other criminal activities such as drug trafficking and money laundering, citing some documents purportedly obtained from the US authorities that linked him to these offences.
The Human Rights group, therefore, urged the Supreme Court “not to act like Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus Christ by allowing this malfeasance to be sustained.”
The The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has urged the Supreme Court to ensure fairness and uphold Nigeria’s democratic values. They cautioned that if Bola Tinubu is not disqualified or asked to resign, it could lead to public distrust in leaders and institutions or resort to civil disobedience and mass protests to demand accountability possibly resulting in protests.
HURIWA also called on Nigerians to reject Tinubu as president, citing potential embarrassment and harm to Nigeria’s international standing.
