The Presidency on Wednesday clarified that the certificate submitted by President Bola Tinubu to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was authentic and not forged as being insinuated in some quarters.
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Temitope Ajayi, in a reaction said the Chicago State University (CSU) confirmed that the president didn’t submit a fake result to INEC.
He 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.
According to him, there is no iota of truth in the forgery claim, adding that no person can forge a certificate he already has.
In his 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 in the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, CSU on Monday released Tinubu’s academic records on the 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 tribunal in the suit Atiku filed to challenge Tinubu’s election in February, 2023.

Believing Temitope Ajayi will be tantamount to “appeal to biased authority”; because it is difficult for a person to tell the truth, when their salary, and indeed entire sustenance, depends on them not telling the truth.
Logically, there is no corroborating authority of a document better than its creator, and source, who are best placed to authenticate and validate that document. The Chicago State University (CSU) is the source and creator of the certificate Tinubu claims to hold, and it is only they who can say which of their documents are fake or genuine. So powerful is the CSU, and indeed any other creating authority in such matters of authentication that, even if, in error, they pronounce a genuine document fake, then so be it, until they are able to correct that error!
Mr Ajayi’s rhetorical question as to why a man would forge his own document is pertinent, and it is a question that has been on the minds of commentators, since the release of Tinubu’s CSU documents; and more so, when he did not really need to do so, if his previous claims to other educational attainments were true. Could it be for, as someone opined, “mysterious self-harm”, or the desire of a pathological liar to continually live his serial lie?
Atiku is fighting s lost battle.instead of him thinking of how best he can contribute to the growth of the same country where he sold all our asset and stole the money to dubai. He is busy looking for certificate so that nigeria can waste another round of money on election.so what gave him the guts that he is a better candidate after himself and his brother obasanjo set a precedence of corruption with budget padding and Ghana must go politics.Now he is still looking for every possible means to come and steal ruin what they left over.Shame
