The Association of Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) has distanced itself from one Dr. Timothy Akimbami who claimed to have a failed a medical student for planing to vote for the All Progressives Congress, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu in the 2023 general elections.
Dr Timothy had tweeted via his Twitter handle that he was invited to be an external examiner in an oral clinical exams for a possible final year student of Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria.
He said the student answered all his questions excellently and he was about alloting him/her Distinction not until when he asked who the student was planing to vote for but to his surprise the student was planning to vote Bola Tinubu.
With that decision of the student,he had to fail him saying that “we can’t keep producing dumb Doctors”
Reacting, the Management of the Medical Dental Council of Nigeria said the self-acclaimed consultant obstetrician and Gynaecologist is an “impostor” and not a consultant obstetrician and Gynaecologist as he claimed to be.
The management added that they did a routine routine checks of their records and extended the it to the General Medical Council UK, but surprisingly,he was not in any of their registers.
“Our attention been drawn to a quite disturbing and unfortunate Tweet by one “Dr” Timothy Akinbami (@doctorisonu) where he claimed to have deliberately failed a Medical student because of his political leanings,”the management said
“We have painstakingly checked all our registers and even that of the General Medical Council UK, but his name is not on any of the registers.
