ADEMOLA Nurudeen Adeleke, senator representing Osun West Senatorial District and the state’s PDP gubernatorial candidate, did not graduate from Jacksonville State University (JSU), says the authorities of the  public university located in Alabama, United States.

According to his profile on the National Assembly website, Adeleke has a Diploma in Criminology from JSU and graduated in 1986. He also graduated from Ede Muslim Grammar School, Osun State, where he obtained an Ordinary Level Certificate.

His academic claims have, however, been brutally challenged. According to recently circulated claims, Adeleke registered for GCE O’ Level in 1981 but had F9 in English Language and was recorded absent for other subjects. It also said he has no degree from JSU where he registered as Jackson Ademola Adeleke, while providing what it titled as official records of his enrollment.

Dele Adeleke, Ademola Adeleke’s junior brother, has denied the allegations and encouraged those who disagree to verify the senator’s result at his alma mater. “Do you think the APC would not have raised the issues if he did not have the authentic certificates?” he had asked.

The ICIR can, however, confirm that Adeleke did not graduate from Jacksonville State University, though he has claimed otherwise.

Buffy Lockette, the Director of Public Relations at the university, in response to a mailed enquiry, told The ICIR that though the senator enrolled at the tertiary institution, he was not awarded any degree.

“Your request was forwarded to me,” started Lockette. “According to our records, he attended JSU but did not graduate. I cannot provide any additional information. Perhaps you can learn more at http://www.studentclearinghouse.org.”



PROBLEMATIC WAEC RESULT

When The ICIR checked the West African Examination Council’s website to view Adeleke’s O’ level result using examination number 19645/149 as circulated, the site replied, “result not available for this candidate in the specified year and exams diet”.

The Council’s online result verification portal, which claims to contain data from 1980 to 2018, was also consulted with the same details. The result was brief: “candidate does not exist”.

Demianus Ojijeogu, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, told The ICIR all candidates’ results are in the custody of the Council and should be accessible on the website, regardless of performance in the examination.

“Even if the candidate has F9 throughout or is absent throughout, it is accessible,” he said. He, however, added that the Council is still working on results of candidates who wrote in 1981 and the surrounding years.

“You know there is this change of nomenclature in our examination. We used to have SSCE then WASC, and now WASSCE. So, we are trying to update the website; maybe they took some down.” He promised to confirm and provide feedback on why the results are not presently online.

CHALLENGED IN COURT

Meanwhile, two members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Rasheed Olabayo and Oluwaseun Idowu, have as a result of the controversy applied to the Osun State High Court for an order setting aside Adeleke’s election as the party’s flag bearer in the September gubernatorial election.

Olabayo, in his affidavit, said the senator truly attended Ede Muslim Grammar School “but did not leave with a School Leaving Certificate having absented himself from the school leaving examinations but for English where he scored a failing mark of F9”.

One of the exhibits provided to the court and obtained by The ICIR is Adeleke’s senior secondary school examination statement of result recently collected from Ede Muslim High School. It shows that the candidate had an F9 in English Language, while grades for Literature in English, Mathematics, Biology, Economics, Islamic Religious Studies, Christian Religious Studies and Geography, were said to be pending.

Ruling on the plaintiffs’ ex-parte application on Thursday, the court gave Adeleke six days, that is till August 1, 2018, to provide his certificate.

“It will be inequitable not to allow the respondent to come and show his certificate if he has any but if given the opportunity to present side of the case, the balance which is necessary for interlocutory injunction would be adequately considered,” noted Justice David Oladimeji.

FROM GRASS TO GRACE

Though a newcomer to Nigeria’s elective politics, the 58-year-old senator appears to be flying from triumph to triumph. He was largely unknown politically prior to the demise of Isiaka Adeleke, his older brother, who passed away on April 23, 2017.

Following a bye-election held to fill the vacuum left by Isiaka in the Nigerian senate, he was declared to have had a landslide victory, winning in nine out of 10 local governments. He admitted this was due to his brother’s “historical goodwill” and influence.

According to him: “I was having fun during the campaign and enjoying my dance because my brother had done 70 percent of the job with his historical goodwill right from when he became an executive governor in 1991. I was always with him. I want to follow his footsteps and may God help me.”

On Saturday, Adeleke found himself a step closer to his political ambition as he was declared PDP’s gubernatorial flag bearer in Osun State, after he narrowly defeated Akin Ogunbiyi with a seven-vote difference.

Though what he notes as his target achievement is “to sponsor Bills that would be impactful on my people, especially youths and women”, the senator has in fact not notably sponsored any bills since his election into the red chambers.

On the contrary, he has become notorious for his vigorous, entertaining dance moves and his fondness for flaunting these in public ― a trend that has earned him the name, “the dancing senator”.

But he has his WAEC right? Even if he doesn't have his waec he can as well bring forth his NEPA bill.

We already know someone that is using nepa bill to rule a country. It's not a new thing

I said it that time. Dt this guy was just a spoilt boy riding on his elder brothers coat tails. What does he have to offer? Nothing, dts why he was using serubawons picture for his poster. Couldn't even pass high schoool, absent absent everywhere with f9 in English. Olodo. Unserious human being.

And they allowed him represent the party instead of the other educated guy with all sorts of charter and a successful insurance firm. Shior!!

Tolexander:
Lol.

And that dummy came out victorious( through rigging) in that PDP primary election. I heard the man that took second is a trained, experienced banker and an erudite.
Gluttonic animal! He has been Senator for just one year, and now he is running for Governor. Olodo oshi! He thinks davido campain will work for him, but he does not know Yorubas are wiser than that. Davido campaign will be useful in Ede alone. Yorubas don't vote because one ninja-turtle head say so

Political witchunt. You all can argue the technicalities, as u did wt tinubus Chicago degree. Whether he is an engineer or an engineer technician, fact is, he has a higher education. He is QUALIFIED to be a governor. This idiots result is as good as having no high school certificate. 'O' level or 'A' level. The airhead couldnt even commit to high school.

Nurudeen Adeleke is an irresponsible, unserious olodo dt has never worked or held down a career all his life. FACT.

Another wahala

Why not tell him the school instead of disturbing urself up and down?

Think it's by shouting?
Smh.

@topic, all of them are the same.
Either no cert or bought cert or forged one.
Nigerian politicians are pathetic.

Patrioticooduan:

Stop barking like a dog!
Did Aregbesola himself tell you that he is a mechanical engineer? Or you want to prove to us that you know him more than himself?

Lol why do these guys lie about getting foreign degreesm These schools arent like Nigerian schools and institutions that could care less about reputations. The information is archived and accessible at the click of a button.

Why would he submit a paper with pending results when he graduated over two decade ago? Seriously why does he have that version. The dancing maniac needs to chill.

The only difference is that Aregbesola has SSCE while Adeleke does not.

Both didn't finish from the institution they claimed.

see this one!

It is a known fact that he was admitted to study Mechanical engineering in Ibadan Polytechnic. Expelled at a point for student unionism.

The ultimate fact is that he didn't finish in the polytechnic.

Dig up his CV submitted to prove that wrong.
