Chicago State University (CSU) has reportedly confirmed the validity of the diploma presented by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

WAKENEWS reports that this confirmation comes in the form of a sworn affidavit submitted by CSU.

The affidavit, as quoted by The Nation Newspaper, submitted in a Chicago court, states, “Chicago State University provided a Diploma to Bola Ahmed Tinubu and subsequently provided a certified copy of that Diploma. Both are valid and authentic Diplomas of the Chicago State University.”

“There are certain differences between the Diploma and the certified copy because all diplomas are signed by the current President/Board Chairman. There are also differences in the font and seal on the Diploma because the University updated its seal and font after the diploma was issued.

The difference in the date of award on the diploma versus the certified copy is likely the result of human error. The graduation date on the certified copy is typed in manually by a person and can be inaccurate.”

This confirmation follows accusations made by Atiku Abubakar, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for president in the election of February 25. Concerned about the validity of Tinubu’s CSU certificate, Atiku had asked for access to the records.

After receiving a court subpoena, CSU disclosed Tinubu’s academic records at Atiku’s request. There are differences between Tinubu’s 1979 CSU certificate and the samples of certificates the University distributed to students in the same year, according to these records, which were made public on October 2 and were the subject of a deposition on Tuesday.
