The authenticity of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s claimed Diploma Certificate from Chicago State University (CSU) is under scrutiny, as a top official of CSU, Mr. Carl Westberg, stated under oath that the replacement copy submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was not from the institution. This revelation came during court proceedings where Westberg testified, confirming variations in signatures, logos, and seals on the certificates issued in 1979 and the one Tinubu submitted. Atiku Abubakar, who contested against Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election, has challenged Tinubu’s eligibility, alleging the submission of forged documents to INEC. Atiku’s case, seeking Tinubu’s disqualification, is currently pending before the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
