U.S. court reserves judgement in Atiku records case after Chicago university confirmed female Bola Tinubu transcript.

A befuddled Judge Jeffrey Gilbert of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on Tuesday reserved judgement on the subpoena application for Bola Tinubu’s records, after learning that the Nigerian president’s college transcript, which he used to gain admission into Chicago State University (CSU) in 1977, indicated it belonged to a female.

The judge said he was prepared to rule on the matter when he scheduled a hearing for September 12, but he needed additional time to digest his decision after learning that there was a transcript bearing Bola A. Tinubu released by CSU under a separate court subpoena that carried the owner’s gender as female.

The female issue was raised by Mr Tinubu’s lawyer, Christopher Carmichael, who tried to use it to demonstrate the frivolity of the case before the court, dismissing it as a fishing expedition based entirely on a conspiracy theory being peddled in Nigeria by Mr Tinubu’s political detractors.

‘It is like Donald Trump coming up in 2010 to claim that Barack Obama was not born in the United States,” Mr Carmichael said.

But Alexandre de Gramont, lawyer to plaintiff Atiku Abubakar, quickly informed the court that the possibility of Bola Tinubu, who attended CSU in the same 1970s, being a woman was first revealed in records produced by the school itself. The school had, in mid-2022, submitted Mr Tinubu’s records in its possession while complying with a state court subpoena.

The records, handed over to Nigerian civil rights lawyer Mike Enahoro-Ebah, showed that Bola A. Tinubu was admitted into CSU in 1977 based on a transcript from Southwest College Chicago that was marked as belonging to a female.

Judge Gilbert became confused after CSU lawyer Michael Hayes confirmed that the school had indeed turned in records to Mr Enahoro-Ebah in 2022, but insisted that Mr Tinubu, the Nigerian president, was the one who attended and graduated from the school.

Mr Hayes, however, said he could not explain the contradictions, and the school’s administrators would not be able to state under oath that the certificate Mr Tinubu has been parading was genuine or otherwise.

“Is the diploma authentic or is it a forgery? My client can’t answer yes to either of those questions,” Mr Hayes said of Mr Tinubu’s certificate that he submitted to be Nigeria’s president.

Consequently, a confused Judge Gilbert said he would need additional time to process the confusion, especially given Mr Hayes’ confirmation of the records released last year by CSU.

“I will have to take this matter under advisement,” the judge said, adding that his court would communicate a new judgement or hearing date with counsel to all parties. The judge said additional documents or clarification about already submitted documents may be required from the parties.

Mr Gilbert’s docket was updated at night on September 12, hours after the judgement, and also confirmed that the matter is “taken under advisement for the reasons stated on the record.”

Judge Gilbert had earlier in the hearing said the court has always taken a liberal and broad view in granting similar requests under Section 1782, a statute that allows the release of documents and evidence domiciled in the U.S. to be obtained and used in a foreign proceeding, especially with countries that have legal reciprocity arrangements with the U.S. like Nigeria.

Mr Abubakar, the plaintiff and presidential candidate of the February polls, seeks the subpoena to clarify outstanding questions regarding Mr Tinubu’s background, particularly the age, gender and citizenship status under which he was admitted to CSU, records he said he wanted to use to prove his case that Mr Tinubu should not be Nigeria’s president because he submitted a forged certificate to electoral office INEC in violation of Nigeria’s Constitution.

That’s what they call certificate in the US. You can’t actually say Diploma certificate. It’s PhD diploma, Master diploma etc. Sometimes it might be called degree certificate.

Certificates are often called diplomas in North America. It doesn't matter if it's a 2 year diploma, 3 year diploma, associate degree, degree or masters.
The attorneys on both sides have been using degree certificate and diploma interchangeably.

Sensational news. Much ado over a clerical typo.

Picture 1: Transcript from SW College with the typo F.
Picture 2: Admission application form from CSU indicating correct sex i.e. Male was ticked off.
Picture 3: Academic transcript from CSU.

Waiting for the real truth to unfold cause you can not demand so much from applicants for various vacancies and allow questionable results holders to occupy highest job in the country.
The real truth is all we need

Atiku chasing shadows while Igbos jubilate

Allow dem chop Atiku 💰💰

Atiku is just flogging a dead horse. He would soon ask CSU to provide CCTV footages of Tinubu attending classes and sitting for exams.

tomber:


That’s what they call certificate in the US. You can’t actually say Diploma certificate. It’s PhD diploma, Master diploma etc. Sometimes it might be called degree certificate.

story for the gods, Diploma is Diploma, any where in the world. all Tinubu could attend in education was a forge Diploma certificate full Stop. Thank God he messed with the wrong country.

Atiku can drag CSU for the next 200 years. The university are sticking to their guns on Tinubu graduating from their university.

There's nothing like PhD diploma.

There is undergraduate diploma which is different from degree program. There is post graduate diploma which is different from masters program. There is undergraduate and postgraduate certificate.

Please share a university link to PhD diploma if I am wrong.

If he can prove that he used to be a female before nko?
Is it that got admitted into the school with forged documents?

mycar:

That's left for Atiku to go and look for the lost female Bola A. Tinubu. The university registered him as a male.

Do they have 2 Tinubu, if the university had made a mistake in the document that they gave to Atiku, what stops them from saying so because I don't think that Tinubu was given and he submitted same that portrays him as a female t the INEC or did he notice the error and chose to edit it himself. I think there is something fishy there.

The document showing F is the type written SW college transcript he used for admission into CSU. On his admission form, the university correctly registered him as male. As per the descripancy in certificates, CSU had already addressed that as well. Check note 4 well. If possible, read it twice.

I don't really know what Atiku is trying to arrive it. But whatever it is, I wish him good luck.

Diploma

This is a program you take when running a normal PhD program. This isn't a 4 year PhD program on its own.

Is the Female B for me

I have used a bad example with McMasters. My mistake.

What I and the guy you replied are saying is that academic certificates in North America are often referred to as Diplomas irrespective of the level of the academic qualification.

The below is from CSU. You can see that they are also using diploma and degree certificate interchangeably.

Also look at my 2nd screenshot from McGill. You can replace diploma language with certificate language,or your diploma or certificate will be printed

So Tinubu na bi.
Patronize me on my signature.

The criminality of the person called Bola Adekunle Ahmed Tinubu didn't start today. So no sane person living in the world today should be surprised.

Raskimonojendor, you are not in the position to say whether it is a clerical typo or not


The matter is already in court

Allow the school and the judge to determine whether it's a clerical typo

Tinubu defeated them and scuttled their plans of taking over lagos and pushed back their agenda of dominating the Yorubas by 70 years. They hated him because he's the only one that has the capability of doing such.

They won't stop this hysteria and will never like him or any Yoruba person. There's this collectivity in purpose and written consensus from ibos to oppose any strong political leader from other regions by default.

Thus, Tinubu defeating Peter Gringory Obi is the end of their political relevancy, hence you understand the mass hysteria and hatred.

After Tinubu, power goes back to the north then back to south south and then back to the north and back to south west and back to the north. Like announcing lymphoma to a patient the dying days of political relevance of the ibos is in weeks.

They will never like Tinubu , they know that we know !

Makes sense. Hopefully should clear up a lot of things now.

Then they should forget the matter but I know if any other person had this same issue, our court would have sacked the person with much ado. Former Bayelsa state governor comes to mind
