The Presidency has insisted that the certificate President
Bola Tinubu presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,
was not forged.
Tinubu’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity,
Temitope Ajayi, said the Chicago State University confirmed that the president
didn’t submit a fake result to INEC.
Ajayi noted that CSU affirmed under oath that Tinubu
attended and graduated from the institution and that the school does not handle
replacements for lost certificates.
He said there was no truth in the forgery claim, adding that no person can forge a certificate he already has.
Posting on X, Ajayi wrote: “We should be clear.
“In the deposition made by the Chicago State University,
there was nowhere the University said the certificate presented to INEC by
President Tinubu is fake. The University insisted under oath that President
Tinubu graduated with honours and even at that, replacements for lost
certificates are done by vendors not the University.
“The claim that President Tinubu submitted fake certificate
to INEC does not make sense. A man can not forge the academic records he
possesses. You can only forge what you don’t have.”
Following petition by the presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, CSU had released Tinubu’s
academic records on orders of the court.
Atiku had requested the documents to back his allegation of
forgery against Tinubu.
The allegation of forgery was one of those dismissed by the
presidential election court in the suit Atiku filed to challenge Tinubu’s
election.

This s a big shame for the country. It is also for the so called presidency. At a time the country is economically down, the man at the helm of affairs is seen to have questionable credentials, how can we make progress? Its a big shame.
