2027: INEC Publishes Tinubu, Atiku, Peter Obi's Credentials

INEC said the filings let voters and parties review candidates’ academic records and affidavits before the 2027 election.

  • The Independent National Electoral Commission has published personal particulars, academic credentials and supporting documents submitted by presidential candidates and their running mates for the 2027 general election.
  • Publication was carried out in compliance with Section 29 of the Electoral Act 2026, which requires INEC to display candidate particulars and supporting documents submitted by candidates.
  • President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress submitted his Bachelor of Science degree from Chicago State University obtained in 1979 but omitted primary and secondary education certificates. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress provided comprehensive documentation from primary school through postgraduate studies.
  • Documents remain displayed at INEC offices across the country but have not yet been uploaded to the commission's website, allowing members of the public and political parties to scrutinize credentials in person.
  • The credential display establishes a verification framework enabling stakeholders to identify and potentially challenge candidate qualifications through legal channels during the electoral process for the 2027 election.
