The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially published and displayed the personal credentials, academic qualifications, and supporting documentation submitted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in accordance with statutory electoral guidelines governing the upcoming general election cycle.

The publication of the candidate profiles was carried out at INEC’s state offices and headquarters as part of the mandatory public scrutiny phase mandated by the Electoral Act. Under the statutory legal framework, the display enables registered voters and political organizations to examine the submitted documentation—including educational certificates, age declarations, and sworn affidavits—and file legal challenges or objections before competent courts where claims are deemed inaccurate or non-compliant.

Highlighting the importance of statutory transparency during the election timeline, official statements from commission representatives affirmed that the exercise is vital to maintaining public trust in the pre-election verification process.

“The display of candidates’ credentials is a strict statutory requirement designed to guarantee public accountability and allow members of the public to verify the personal details submitted by political parties for their respective candidates,” an official commission notice detailed.

The public exhibition of candidate credentials opens a fixed statutory window during which aggrieved parties or interested citizens can inspect the records, ensuring all administrative filings conform fully to constitutional and electoral regulations ahead of nationwide campaigning.
