The Wikipedia page of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been edited to reflect Adekunle which is part of the name on his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate.
At the time of writing, the addition on the Wikipedia page of Tinubu was done five hours ago.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who has been imputing identity theft against the president, had revealed through his lawyer, Kalu Kalu, that the NYSC discharge certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC to aid his election, bears the name ‘Adekunle’ and not Ahmed. It showed also that he served between November 1982 and November 1983 possibly in Oyo State based on the certificate NYSC number, OY/FORN/82/9106.
The appearance of Adekunle has caused a stir on social media as Nigerians wondered at what point did the Adekunle change to Ahmed.
The addition of Adekunle in the Wikipedia page of Tinubu appears to be an attempt to douse the curiosity of social media users.
The Wikipedia page of the president, which was updated the same day this report was first published by The Niche, was two day-old on this October 9, 2023.
