Former Vice-president and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has been accused of certificate forgery.

The development was linked to his secondary school certificate, which carries Sadiq Abubakar, which is different from the original name he is known for.

Reacting to the allegations, Atiku through his  media aides, Chief Dele Momodu, clarified that he swore an affidavit to change his name from Sadiq to Atiku.

Momodu vai his X page wrote: “The APC busybodies have been bombarding me with allegations of forgery against my Principal, Ahaji Atiku Abubakar (GCON), which I immediately forwarded to him and here is his copious response: ‘Yes I used Sadiq Abubakar to sit for my WAEC and after passing my exams I went to swear an affidavit to say I am the same person as Atiku Abubakar.

“I went to ABU as Atiku Abubakar and passed my Exams as Atiku Abubakar. Interviewed as Atiku Abubakar by the Federal Civil Service Commission and hired into the Customs Service as Atiku Abubakar. So where is forgery there?’ – Atiku Abubakar.

“Can the APC social media bullies forward the deluge of questions in circulation to their boss and get instant and direct response? he queried.
