The controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s academic records took another twist on Monday as African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, said it is not too late for the President to enroll in adult or online education programmes to obtain primary and secondary school qualifications.

Speaking to journalists outside the Federal High Court in Abuja after the continuation of his trial over alleged cyberbullying involving President Tinubu, Sowore said nothing stops the President from registering for adult or online primary and secondary education programmes if he wishes to obtain the qualifications.

He maintained that returning to school later in life was neither unusual nor embarrassing, noting that many people, including public figures, had pursued education well into adulthood.

Sowore’s remarks came amid renewed scrutiny of President Tinubu’s academic records after documents published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) reportedly did not include primary or secondary school certificates among the credentials submitted by the President.

Also reacting to the development, National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, questioned why the President’s primary and secondary school qualifications were absent from the documents, urging the Presidency to clarify the omission.

The controversy has reignited public debate over President Tinubu’s educational history as political activities ahead of the 2027 general election continue to gather pace.

This version creates more suspense by opening with “The controversy… took another twist”, immediately telling readers that the certificate issue has escalated before introducing Sowore’s provocative suggestion. It also avoids repeating “register” too early and flows more like a political news feature.
