Hon. Isa Muhammad Wabu of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) had challenged the degree qualification of Hon. Gololo, alleging that the lawmaker forged the BSc and the MA certificates he claimed to have obtained from Lagos State University.
The court therefore disqualified him based on presenting forged BSc, MA and NYSC certificates to contest in the 2019 election.
