Investigation into an alleged monetary inducement to Chicago State University (CSU) by President Bola Tinubu has been sought after by the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) USA.
The group has called on America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to find out if the Nigerian leader had in the past made any donations to the university directly or through third parties.
According to the group, it is important to determine if there were any monetary or other inducements made to CSU by Tinubu aimed at securing certain privileges from CSU.
NADECO USA also asked the FBI and the Social Security Administration to determine how a Social Security number belonging to another person began to be used by Mr. Tinubu.
“The issue is, whether it is a matter of identity theft or, was the original owner of the number aware that her Social Security number was being used by another person. If SS#: 231-06-0595 is not President Tinubu’s, what is his true Social Security number and under what name is it under?
“Who actually owns the Social Security number, 231-06-0595, written on the transcripts that the Chicago State University registrar used as an exhibit that was attached to the deposition given under oath?
“We, as citizens of Nigeria from all over the world, are asking and requesting the United States University Accreditation Body and Chicago State University Board of Trustee to look into this matter in order to clear the good reputation of Chicago State University (CSU).
“NADECO USA is committed to the struggle to save Nigeria from corrupt and bad leaders. We therefore seek your cooperation to help Nigeria do a thorough and complete background check on Mr. Bola A. Tinubu, an enigma that has consistently fought to hide his true identity.
“The world needs to know why President Bola A. Tinubu habitually goes to court to stop the release of his documents if he does not have anything to hide?
“Since Tinubu is now the President of Nigeria, it’s in the interest of Nigerian national security and global security for the world to make sure that the man who presides over the affairs of the biggest democracy and economy in Africa, is not a criminal, a certificate forger, or an identity thief.
“Nigeria as the most populous black country in the world must be handled with care as the impact of a failed Nigerian state or a Nigeria where criminality is institutionalized will be devastating to the world, especially if Nigerians start emigrating to Europe, America and other parts of the developed world.
“As American voters and firm believers in democracy, we appeal to our elected officials to take this issue serious to protect democracy in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.”
The group yesterday, in a statement said that henceforth, Nigerian-American voters would be looking at candidates’ records and responses to Nigerian issues before casting its votes.
“We’re no longer going to be voting “one size fits all” type of voting, candidates must earn our votes before they get them,” it said.
