APGA alerts INEC on Ekwunife’s Unrecognized certificate, pushes for disqualification of Ekwunife
The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has commenced push for the disqualification of the Deputy Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Anambra State, Senator Uche Ekwunife.
The running mate for Nicholas Ukachukwu for the Anambra Election in November, had tendered a PhD certificate from Atlantic International University, State of Hawaii, in the US to INEC, but APGA insists that a fact-check has revealed that the university is unapproved and can as well be dismissed as a degree mill for people desperate to acquire certificates.
APGA, in a post by its National Publicity Secretary, Ejimofor Opara, insists that for Ekwunife to jump from presenting her degree certificate or even her master’s certificate to present a PhD certificate from an unrecognized institution shows her other certificates may be questionable Mazi Opara said:
“Some of us believe, and wrongly so, that once a university is ‘abroad’ then it is legal and accredited. This erroneous thinking can be permissible amongst certain class of persons in society, not a person in the mould of Uche Ekwunife”
“Hers is willful and deliberate. She wants a PhD but is incapable of the intellectual rigour to earn it. Now, the question before INEC Nigeria as a body set up by law is – should certificates from unapproved and unaccredited schools be accepted for official purposes?”
“If Uche Ekwunife has the minimum qualification for the office she seeks, why submit, under oath, a certificate from a fake university? Does Uche Ekwunife actually possess an authentic first degree? If yes, where is it? Not submitting it raises lots of doubts, knowing it may be fake too”
The party spokesperson said it is important that Uche Ekwunife be used as an example to others brandishing fake higher certificates, as this trend, if unchecked, would make a mess of an already ailing system.
In the letter, Adeleke attributed his exit to the crisis at the national level.
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has announced his defection to a new political party.
Adeleke recently resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), citing internal crises within the party.
According to a letter addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde, in Ede North Local Government Area, the governor formally withdrew from the party on November 4, 2025.
In the letter, Adeleke attributed his exit to the crisis at the national level.
“Due to the current crisis within the national leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), I hereby resign my membership of the People’s Democratic Party with immediate effect,” the letter read.
Adeleke, who rose to political prominence through the PDP, expressed gratitude for the role the party played in his political journey.
“I thank the People’s Democratic Party for the opportunities given to me for my elections as a Senator (Represented Osun West) and as Governor of Osun State under the People’s Democratic Party,” he stated.
In an announcement on Tuesday evening monitored by SaharaReporters, Adeleke unveiled his new political platform as the Accord Party.
SaharaReporters had earlier reported indications that he would join the Accord Party, citing sources familiar with developments in the state.

The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has suspended the Chairman of Lafia Local Government, Mohammad Haliru Arabo, for three months over his role in the unlawful removal of the council’s Speaker.
The decision was taken during plenary in Lafia after a motion was raised by Musa Ibrahim Abubakar, who leads the House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
Lawmakers agreed that the action was needed to allow a fair investigation and calm the tension that followed the leadership dispute in the council.
The Speaker of the House, Danladi Jatau, said the suspension will stand until the committee completes its findings.
He said that the current structure of the Lafia Legislative Arm will remain unchanged throughout the investigation.
During this period, the Deputy Chairman of Lafia Local Government, Uba Arikiya, has been directed to take charge of the council.
The Speaker explained that the House acted within the powers given to it by the constitution and questioned why the Chairman ventured into matters that belong to the legislature.
The Clerk of the House has been asked to notify Governor Abdullahi Sule of the resolution.
Lawmakers such as Hajarat Danyaro Ibrahim, Mohammed Garba Isimbabi, Suleiman Yakubu Azara, and Larry Ven-Bawa backed the move, saying that the suspension would help prevent a wider crisis in the council and send a clear message to other local governments in the state.
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
