The lawmaker representing Agege Federal Constituency, Dr Wale Ahmed, has criticised the renewed controversy over President Bola Tinubu’s academic and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) credentials, describing it as a political distraction ahead of the 2027 elections.

Ahmed, in a statement, said the continued focus on allegations surrounding the President’s certificates reflected what he described as the opposition’s failure to present Nigerians with compelling alternatives on governance.
