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.
Recall 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.”
However, the interesting thing upon further examination of
these documents is that while they all speak to the same subject, Tinubu’s
academic qualifications from the Chicago State University, they all bear
different details.
