How Tinubu’s Alleged Certificate Forgery Could End His Presidency

ABUJA, (iexclusivenews) – Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the current President of Nigeria, is facing a serious challenge to his legitimacy after a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, accused him of presenting a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Frank has called on members of the international community, especially the European Union, United States, United Kingdom and African Union, to prevail on Tinubu to vacate office over the alleged certificate forgery.

He has also urged Nigerians to prepare for mass action to ensure that Tinubu steps down as President.

The Evidence of Forgery

Frank claimed that he obtained documents from the Chicago State University (CSU) in the United States, where Tinubu claimed to have graduated from, that proved that Tinubu forged his diploma certificate.

According to Frank, the CSU authorities confirmed under oath that a person named “Bola. A. Tinubu” attended the school but denied issuing the diploma certificate that Tinubu presented to INEC.

The CSU documents also revealed fake admission entry results used by the said Bola A. Tinubu, with a General Certificate of Education (GCE) purportedly obtained from Government College Lagos in 1970 and South-West College Illinois.

Frank pointed out that the former was not in existence in 1970 but established in 1974 and the latter certificate in the United States contains particulars of a female, including her Social Security Number.

Frank also noted that Tinubu’s social security number in the documents of his narcotics conviction in Chicago are different from those presented by CSU belonging to the Bola A Tinubu that attended CSU. He asked: “Is it therefore possible for a U.S Resident or citizen to have two social security numbers?”

Furthermore, Frank highlighted that Tinubu’s date of birth in the CSU transcripts is March 29, 1954, while his submission to INEC is March 29, 1952.

He said this clearly shows that he lied to INEC under oath (Perjury) by the authority of the CSU papers.

The Implications of Forgery

Frank argued that by the revelation that Tinubu apparently forged his certificate presented to INEC, he was constitutionally not fit to remain as President of Nigeria.

He cited section 137(1)(j) of the constitution which stipulates that no one would be legitimately elected as President of Nigeria if the person has “presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.” He said this is a constitutional matter with very grave implications.

He added: “So we call on lovers of democracy, former Presidents, Rtd Justices of Supreme Court, traditional rulers, Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress, National Association of Nigerian Students, Nigeria Medical Association, Nigerian Bar Association and Civil Society Organizations to prepare for mass action to ensure that Tinubu vacates office as President. This is the last opportunity to take back our country from the gang of criminals who have hijacked the country.”

He also called on the authorities of ECOWAS to ask him to vacate the office of the chairman, otherwise, every decision that ECOWAS will take under his leadership will be null and void and will not be respected.

He said: “Under his leadership, ECOWAS will not have credibility to speak on major issues in the continent including the coup in Niger, among others, since his legitimacy has now been eroded by reason of an established act of forgery.”

He urged Nigerians not to allow Tinubu to continue to rule them with a forged certificate and demanded for his immediate resignation or impeachment by the National Assembly.
