He said “How can anybody believe such a story? You know the kind of opposition that rose up against him last year. Do you think the APC would not have raised the issues if he did not have the authentic certificates?

“Also, you are free to go to the school he attended and verify. That will be better than hearing from me or him. That story is not true and it should be discountenanced.”

DSS not investigating Adeleke

Also, the Department of State Services (DSS) has denied reports that it is investigating the lawmaker.
