Chicago State University Caught In Dispute Over Nigeria's Presidential Election by KEVIND: 3:38am On Sep 15, 2023
CBS News don carry am. It’s global now

CBS) -- Chicago State University finds itself at the center of a political dispute involving the newly elected president of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu's political rival, Atiku Abubakar, claims that documents showing that Tinubu graduated from Chicago State in 1979 are not authentic, and that is grounds to nullify Tinubu's election victory earlier this year.

According to the People's Gazette, Tinubu submitted the diploma to Nigeria's election commission. It was purportedly issued in 1979 and signed by university President Elnora Daniel. But Daniel didn't arrive at CSU until 1998 and left about ten years later. Submitting false records to the National Election Commission before the vote should nullify the election, Abubaker claims.

At a hearing in Chicago this week, Abubakar's lawyers asked a federal judge to compel CSU officials to turn over Tinubu's academic documents and appear for depositions. Judge Jeffrey Gilbert of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois did not rule on the request.

CSU's lawyer, Michael Hayes, told Gilbert that the university wouldn't be able to certify Tinubu's diploma under oath.

A CSU spokeswoman said the university can confirm the president graduated. However, it cannot authenticate the diploma because it is a ceremonial document that is not part of a student's official academic file.

This is one of the major reasons why you defend your integrity by not endorsing corrupt fellows. If you are not careful, they will spoil your hard earned reputation.

Let's patiently await the court's decision on this. However, going by the bolded, Tinubu is in a good place. The CBS' version of the story is clearer and devoid of sentiments unlike People's Gazette.

The university literally confirmed that he indeed graduated from the CBS report. They are sticking to their guns and haven't said otherwise. 100 years from now, CSU will still tell you that Bola A Tinubu graduated from their uni in 1979.

Either he graduated or not is not the issue,the fraudulent aspect of it is the issue.CSU is a fraudulent college on its own for not be able to authenticate the certificate your student is parading,it means they are hidding something.
Re: Chicago State University Caught In Dispute Over Nigeria's Presidential Election by ValarDoharis: 6:20am On Sep 15, 2023
Did he forged his certificate or not? Who issued that certificate? Why is his entrance documents showing female? Is CSU willing to say so under oath?
