Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma has described those fueling the ongoing controversy over the educational qualification of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu as mischief makers.
He said having contested elections in the past such debate should not have arisen in the first place.
He spoke with journalists after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said the anti-Tinubu elements were needlessly heating the polity over the issue which has been laid to rest in the past.
He said, “For my presidential candidate, the issue of certificates shouldn’t even arise.
“In 1999, he contested elections and became the governor of Lagos, in 2003 he contested election as second-term governor of Lagos.
“He ran and won as a senator in the country. Where record-keeping is efficient, and the INEC server is functional, he doesn’t need to do a fresh submission.
“However, if whatever he is supposed to submit is not handy, it is not late yet. I’m sure before the time he will submit whatever is required of him.”
