The Presidency strongly asserts that President Bola Tinubu’s academic certificate, which he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), is not fake.
Tinubu’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, stated that the Chicago State University (CSU) has confirmed the authenticity of the president’s certificate.
According to Ajayi, CSU, under oath, verified that Tinubu attended and graduated from the university. Furthermore, CSU clarified that they don’t handle replacements for lost certificates.

Accusations are baseless
Ajayi emphasized that the accusation of forgery is baseless because a person cannot forge a certificate they already possess. In other words, you can only fake something you don’t actually have.
This clarification came after the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, requested documents from CSU to support his allegation that Tinubu’s certificate was forged.
However, the presidential election court dismissed the allegation of forgery when Atiku challenged Tinubu’s election.
