A data and public affairs analyst, Durojaiye Ogunsanya, has said he can confirm that President Bola Tinubu attended the Chicago State University, United States of America.
Tinubu’s certificate from the university has remained a hot topic among many who wondered why no one could corroborate the President’s story.
The President did attend Chicago State University and that they both graduated in 1979.
The Chicago State University (CSU) has released academic records of President Bola Tinubu to Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Nancy Maldonado, a federal judge of the US district court for the northern district of Illinois, earlier ordered the CSU to release the documents to Atiku. CSU complied on Monday.
Upon the release of the documents, several newspapers reported that the documents authenticate Tinubu’s certificates.
A copy of his Southwest College transcript with which he gained admission into CSU identified him as female, but CSU has attributed this to a clerical error. However, there were errors on the date and social security number. Also, the space for birthday was left blank in the Southwest College transcript Tinubu submitted to CSU.
The confussion on Tinubu’s gender is alarming, what are we to believe, because we sincerely don’t know what to believe anymore,
The allegation of forgery was one of those dismissed by the presidential election court in the suit Atiku filed to challenge the election of Tinubu. Despite the court’s ruling, Atiku continued his case at the US court, hoping to get official documents to back his claim and possibly include them in his appeal at the Supreme Court.
Through his lawyers, Atiku sought these key things – an example of a CSU diploma issued in 1979; Tinubu’s diploma issued in 1979; example of a CSU diploma that “contains the same font, seal, signatures and wording” as Tinubu’s diploma issued in June 1979 and CSU documents certified and produced by Jamar Orr, an associate general counsel at CSU at the time.
