Why Tinubu Certificate Indicates Female – President’s Lawyer
President Bola Tinubu’s lawyer, Wole Afolabi, on Thursday disclosed the reason why the President’s certificate indicates “F” meant for a female was because of a mixup at Chicago State University.
Afolabi while speaking during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today, said other particulars except the transcript matched information of President Bola Tinubu.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 25 election, Atiku Abubakar, had filed case at the District Court, Northern Illinois in the United States which recently ordered the Chicago State University to release Tinubu’s academic records to him.
He said, “The transcript that was provided by Southwest College indicated F. It was clear. All of the other particulars did match information of President Bola Tinubu. Now, the registrar was interviewed on why the discrepancies. He said the person applying for the school ticked the box of a male not a female and when the admission letter was issued it was issued to Mr Tinubu.
“When the question was put to Dr West Brown, he said it is not unusual for universities to mix up. He (West Brown) has been to several universities. It is possible.”
On the discrepancies on the signatures on the certificate, Afolabi said that certificates were not issued at the time of graduation, until one applied for them, adding that the person who issued the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC might not have been in the university in 1979.
