A former Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, has urged opposition parties to focus on President Bola Tinubu’s performance rather than his academic certificates as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections gather momentum.

Ndume, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, made the call in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday, describing the renewed focus on Tinubu’s credentials as a distraction from issues he said should dominate the election campaign.

“The narrative around his certificate is distracting. What opposition presidential candidates should be doing is to tell Nigerians what they have to offer. What are their alternative economic policies? What can they do better than President Tinubu?

“They should interrogate his economic policies and how his government has handled insecurity. The President has been in office for over three years now. So why should his certificates be the main talking point?” Ndume said in a Vanguard report.
