The West African Examination Council (WAEC) on Thursday failed to tender a copy of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s certificate before the Ogun State Electron Petition Tribunal, sitting in Isabo, Abeokuta, the state capital.

The examination body was subpoenaed to produce a copy of Abiodun’s 1978 WAEC certificate as attached to the form he filled with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Ladi Adebutu while challenging the victory of Dapo Abiodun in the March 18 governorship election had alleged that Abiodun forged his WAEC certificate.

In his petition, Adebutu stated that Abiodun “presented a forged West African Examinations Council School Certificate of June 1978 to the 1st Respondent” (INEC) on July 25, 2022.

The petitioner further state that he had written a letter to WAEC, to verify the authenticity of the said examination certificate presented by Abiodun to INEC.

“Surprisingly, up till date, the West African Examinations Council has failed and/or neglected to respond to the said Petitioners’ letter.
“The petitioners shall at the trial subpoena officials of the said West African Examinations Council to testify on the falsity of the said certificate,” the petition read partly.

Appearing before the three-member Tribunal on Thursday, an official of the examination body, Olufemi Olaleye, but he was not with the disputed certificate, neither did he confirm whether or not the governor sat for the examination as claimed.

The WAEC official was not sworn, neither was he allowed to enter the witness box as he said “the requested certificate is not here with me.”
