One of the lawyers of Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has revealed that Tinubu may have allegedly forged the certificate of a black American.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Kalu Kalu made the revelation during a press conference today regarding the ongoing legal battle against President Bola Tinubu in the United States.
Kalu, addressing a room of journalists, referring to a document released by Chicago State University (CSU), said the document suggests that Tinubu may have allegedly forged the certificate of another person.
Atiku Abubakar initiated the lawsuit against President Bola Tinubu over the authenticity of Tinubu’s academic record at Chicago State University (CSU). Tinubu had opposed the release of these documents, claiming a breach of his privacy, but the court ruled otherwise.
Following the court’s decision, Atiku’s legal team gained access to the documents on Monday, and an oral deposition was recorded from Caleb Westberg, the Registrar of CSU. A deposition is a process where sworn, out-of-court oral testimony is obtained from a witness, often transcribed for use in court or for discovery purposes.
Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, Kalu said, “On the certificate issued or released by Chicago State University to the lawyers of Alhajji Atiku Abubakar. These are the documents; One, that Bola Ahmed Tinubu forged the certificate he presented to INEC.
“Two, that the qualified certificate from Southwest College to Chicago State University bears a female. That means that document does not belong to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Three, the Chicago State University admission application form has a claim that Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended Government College Lagos and graduated in 1970, when indeed the school got established in 1974. The same document has it that the owner of that document is a Black American and the document Bola Ahmed Tinubu submitted to INEC, he denied having dual citizenship which means it doesn’t not belong to him.”
