President Bola Tinubu has received a rare and unexpected backing from the British Broadcasting Service, BBC.
Contrary to allegations of Certificate forging of the Chicago State University, CSU, made against him, the BBC says there is no evidence to show that he engaged in such criminal activity.
This was revealed by the British Broadcasting Corporation’s, BBC, Disinformation Team Reports.
The BBC said that there is no evidence that the Chicago State University’s academic records of President Bola Tinubu, submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the 2023 Presidential election were forged.
It, also, reported that aside from the gender discrepancy, the birth dates in some of the released documents differed from the official birth date of President Tinubu, which is March 29, 1952.
According to it, Tinubu’s transcript from the CSU has his date of birth as March 29, 1954 while his undergraduate admissions application form had his date of birth as March 29, 1955.
Meanwhile, the BBC report claimed that Atiku Abubakar’s lawyer questioned the date of birth on the certificate during Westberg’s deposition on the forms submitted to INEC because Tinubu was said to have given his date of birth as March 29, 1952.
Westberg, during cross-examination, the report said, responded that the discrepancies could have been due to a human error.
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party, LP, Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi had tagged Tinubu’s academic records as fake, calling the President out to defend them.
