Farooq Kperogi, Professor of Journalism and Newspaper Columnist has stated that President Bola Tinubu graduated from Chicago State University, but forged the certificate he presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
He made the statement during an interview with AriseTV.
He said: "It has been established that Tinubu attended and graduated from Chicago State University, however he forged the results he submitted to INEC.
If this evidence is accepted by the Supreme Court they must debate on this 'unconventional forgery' either by the spirit or letter of the law. I postulate that Tinubu's certificate forgery was not based on pretense but on carelessness
The certificate (we call it “diploma” in the US) that Tinubu submitted to INEC is inconsistent with the certificates CSU issued in 1979 and subsequently, indicating that Tinubu forged his.
Although he did legitimately graduate from Chicago State University in 1979, he obviously lost his certificate and, instead of applying for a replacement, decided to forge it. That strikes me as mysterious self-harm."
