FACT CHECK: Did Celebrated Professor of History, Saheed Aderinto Call Bola Tinubu’s Victory a Stolen Mandate?

CLAIM: A Twitter account purportedly registered with the name Saheed Aderinto had advised President-Elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu to return his certificate of return, calling it a “stolen mandate”.

“Thanks anyway for the recognition, I hope you restore Our stolen Mandate,” the tweet read while referencing a congratulatory message the President-Elect sent to the prof.

VERDICT: FALSE

The News Chronicle discovered that the account is a parody account and the statement was not issued by Aderinto who has released a statement to distance himself from the Twitter account and the quotes credited to his name.

“It has come to my attention that a fake Twitter account has been opened in my name,” Aderinto said in a Facebook post on Monday. “I don’t have a Twitter account and didn’t make those statements.”
