In response to these allegations, Momodu communicated with the former Vice President, who provided a detailed explanation for the discrepancy.
Why Sadiq Abubakar on Atiku’s WAEC Certificate?
According to Momodu, Atiku’s response to the issue was as follows: “Yes, I used Sadiq Abubakar to sit for my WAEC, and after passing my exams, I went to swear an affidavit to declare that I am the same person as ATIKU Abubakar. I went to ABU (Ahmadu Bello University) as Atiku Abubakar and passed my exams as Atiku Abubakar. I was interviewed as Atiku Abubakar by the Federal Civil Service Commission and was hired into the Customs Service as Atiku Abubakar. So where is forgery there?” – ATIKU ABUBAKAR
