The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) confirms that Ademola Adeleke, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Osun state governorship election, sat for its examination in 1981.
The council confirmed Adeleke’s participation in an affidavit deposed at an FCT high court in Bwari, Abuja, on Wednesday.
PDP members in Osun, Rasheed Olabayo and Oluwaseun Idowu had filed a suit to challenge his candidacy on the grounds that the senator “did not possess his secondary school leaving certificate”.
The certificate is required to be eligible for an elective position, according to section 177 (d) of the 1999 constitution.
The court asked WAEC to produce Adeleke’s result before Saturday’s election.
