The presidency on Wednesday debunked claims that the certificate presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by President Bola for the 2023 presidency was forged.
In a statement via his X( Twitter) handle, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi said there is nowhere in the deposition made by the Chicago State University (CSU) that the institution admitted that the certificate presented to INEC by President Tinubu is fake.
He clarified that the university affirmed under oath that Tinubu attended and graduated from the institution .
In the statement,Ajayi wrote” We should be clear”
“In the deposition made by the Chicago State University, there was nowhere the University said the certificate presented to INEC by President Tinubu is fake.
“The University insisted under oath that President Tinubu graduated with honours and even at that, replacements for lost certificates are done by vendors not the University.
“The claim that President Tinubu submitted fake certificate to INEC does not make sense. A man can not forge the academic records he possesses. You can only forge what you don’t have.”
His argument comes amidst ongoing reports that the Chicago State University has said in the testimony of the institution that President Tinubu presented a forged diploma certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 2022 in his bid to lead the country.
