A former National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Babatunde Ogala (SAN), has defended President Bola Tinubu’s eligibility to contest the 2027 presidential election amid renewed controversy over his educational records. Ogala maintained that Tinubu satisfied the constitutional requirements concerning nationality, age and educational attainment. The former APC legal adviser said the relevant constitutional provision required a candidate to be educated up to at least School Certificate level or its legally recognised equivalent. Ogala argued that Tinubu’s declared university degree exceeded the minimum educational threshold prescribed by the Constitution. “You want to know which primary and secondary schools I attended, where I did my A-Levels, and all of that.”
