Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, has raised significant concerns about the academic credentials of President Bola Tinubu.

Atiku’s allegations come as a response to purported errors identified in Tinubu’s academic certificate, which have been acknowledged by his legal representatives.

Tinubu’s legal team, in a response to a petition filed by Atiku in a federal court in Chicago, Illinois, United States, conceded that discrepancies exist in the academic certificate presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by President Tinubu. These errors were attributed to the clerk of Chicago State University (CSU), where Tinubu’s educational records are said to originate.

In an official statement issued on Saturday, Atiku Abubakar disclosed that documents submitted by his legal team in both the United States and Nigeria have unveiled disturbing inconsistencies and circumstantial inaccuracies in Tinubu’s academic records from his time at the university.

One of the key documents highlighted is a certified true copy of the certificate submitted by President Tinubu to INEC on June 17, 2022. Atiku’s legal representatives pointed out that this document purportedly represents the certificate issued to Tinubu by Chicago State University (CSU), validating his attendance and the degree conferred upon him.

Furthermore, another document features a letter dated September 22, 2022, from Mr. Caleb Westberg, the Registrar of CSU. This letter is attached to a copy of the certificate awarded to Bola Tinubu, officially recognizing the degree he obtained from the university.
