The governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, on Tuesday, blamed what he called the inefficiency of the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the bourgeoning controversies trailing the certificates and educational qualifications of the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

Tinubu is said to have left the spaces for filling in details of his primary and secondary schools examination results blank in the CF 01 INEC form he filled for the 2023 elections even as he claimed that unknown soldiers stole his university certificates.<\/p>\n

In their stead, he only swore to affidavits.<\/p>\n

But Uzodimma said there would have been no controversy on the certificates of Tinubu if INEC had a functional server.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nThe governor, who spoke to journalists after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, however, expressed optimism that the issues around Tinubu\u2019s certificate would be resolved.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cAll the things so mentioned are entire party challenges that will be resolved. But for my presidential candidate, the issue of certificates shouldn\u2019t even arise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1999, he contested elections and became the governor of Lagos. In 2003, he contested election for a second term and became governor of Lagos.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe ran and won as a Senator in the country. Were records keeping efficient, and INEC server functional, he (Tinubu) wouldn\u2019t need to do fresh submission (of documents).<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
“However, if whatever he is supposed to submit is not handy, it is not late yet. I\u2019m sure before time he will submit whatever is required of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean by difficulty? Who told you? The deadline is not yet here until the period of submission is over and we are not able to put a running mate; that is the only way you can ask this kind of question.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate your concern, but be rest assured that we will fill a complete ticket for the presidential contest,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

While speaking on the wave of senators leaving the ruling party, Uzodimma said, \u201cDid some leave the party or are leaving the party?<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil they leave\u2026 but for those few who left, of course, there are some others who left other parties and joined the APC. So, one cancels the other.\u201d<\/p>\n
