President Bola Tinubu’s diplomas were reportedly uncovered in the archives of Chicago State University (CSU).

After a thorough investigation of its archives, CSU claimed to have located the diplomas that matched the certificate Tinubu provided to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

In response to Judge Nancy Maldonado’s directive that it provide the records demanded by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, the institution made this disclosure.

Michael D. Hayes, the school’s representative, disclosed the results.

Below is a quote from a Hayes release:

Atiku in his Request No. 3 wanted: “True and correct copies of any diplomas issued by CSU (other than to Mr. Tinubu) that contain the same font, seal, signatures, and wording (other than the name of the recipient and the specific degree awarded) as Contained in Exhibit C to the First Liu Declaration, which purports to be a CSU diploma issued to Mr. Tinubu on or about June 22, 1979”.

Responding, Hayes said: “The documents responsive to this request which CSU, after diligent search, has been able to locate are produced herewith and Bates labeled CSU 0008 through CSU 0010.

“The students’ names on these diplomas have been redacted for privacy reasons. “CSU is also producing, Bates labeled as CSU 0011 and CSU 0012, diplomas prepared for other CSU students (with their names redacted for privacy) which match the format of the Tinubu replacement diploma dated June 27, 1997.”

On Atiku’s request that the school should produce a copy of Tinubu’s certificate issued in 1979, the school maintained its position that “it does not keep copies of students’ diplomas, talk less of the one issued in 1979.”

“CSU does not in the ordinary course keep copies of student diplomas, and after diligent search cannot locate a copy of the original diploma it prepared for Mr. Tinubu in 1979, hence has no documents responsive to this request”,

Atiku had demanded for Tinubu’s academic records in a bid to prove that the Nigerian president lied about attending CSU.
