Major error found in Tinubu’s academic records show I’m right

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.
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, has said the purported errors discovered in the certificate of President Bola Tinubu validate his discovery.

DAILY POST reports that Tinubu’s lawyers had on Wednesday, in response to the petition of Atiku in a federal court in Chicago, Illinois, United States, agreed that there are errors in the academic certificate presented to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by the President, and blamed those errors on the clerk of the Chicago State University (CSU).

In a statement issued on Saturday, the former vice president said documents submitted by his lawyers in the United States and Nigeria showed disturbing discrepancies and circumstantial fallacies in Tinubu’s academic records from the university.

One of the documents, for instance, is the certified true copy of the certificate submitted by Tinubu to INEC on 17th June 2022, and according to Atiku’s lawyers, “this, purportedly, is the certificate issued to him by Chicago State University (“CSU”) showing that he attended the school, and evidencing the degree he was awarded.

“In another document is a copy of a letter dated September 22, 2022 from Mr. Caleb Westberg, the Registrar of CSU attaching a copy of the certificate issued to Bola Tinubu in recognition of the degree he was awarded by the university.

“There is another document, which is a copy of the certificate forwarded by Mr. Westberg, as mentioned above, in response to a subpoena that was issued to CSU in respect of Bola Tinubu’s academic qualifications and achievements.

“There is also a copy of the bio of Dr. Niva Lubin-Johnson. Dr. Lubin-Johnson was the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of CSU from January 2001 to December 2002.

“Also is a copy of the bio of Dr. Elnora D. Daniel. Dr. Daniel was the President of CSU from 1998 to 2008.”
