How I Lost My Original Certificates – Tinubu’s Running Mate, Masari

Kabiru Masari, the vice presidential candidate for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has reported that his original credentials are missing to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate’s de facto running mate, said in an affidavit presented to the electoral commission that he lost the original certificates while traveling through a portion of the country’s capital.

According to reports, Masari filed an affidavit with the INEC stating that he had lost his primary and secondary school transcripts.

According to the documents, Masari claimed he had his Primary school education in Katsina State between 1972-78 and later obtained a Grade 2 Certificate from Katsina Teachers College in 1982 and a Higher Certificate in 1995.

The affidavit reads in part, “That I am the above-named person and bonafide owner of the under-listed documents. That sometimes in January 2021, while on transit within Wuse Area, FCT– Abuja, I discovered that my original Certificate of Occupancy of plot NoKT 17522, GRA Katsina Estate; Certificate of Kaduna State Development Centre from 1994-95; Grade 11 Certificate from Katsina Teachers College from 1979-83 and First Leaving School Certificate issued by Masari Primary School Katsina State from 1972-78 got lost”.

He noted that all efforts to recover the missing documents since 2021 have proved abortive.
