Report BY JOHN DODGE

(CBS) -- Chicago State University finds itself at the center of a political dispute involving the newly elected president of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu's political rival, Atiku Abubakar, claims that documents showing that Tinubu graduated from Chicago State in 1979 are not authentic. Submitting false records to the National Election Commission before the vote should nullify the election, Abubaker claims.

According to the People's Gazette, Tinubu submitted a certificate to the election commission purportedly issued in 1979 and signed by university President Elnora Daniel. But Daniel didn't arrive at CSU until 1998 and left about ten years later.

At a hearing in Chicago this week, Abubakar's lawyers asked a federal judge to compel CSU to turn over the documents and appear for depositions. Judge Jeffrey Gilbert of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois did not rule on the request

CSU's lawyer, Michael Hayes, told Gilbert that the university wouldn't be able to certify Tinubu's diploma under oath.

A CSU spokeswoman said the university can confirm the president graduated. However, it cannot authenticate the diploma because it is a ceremonial document that is not part of a student's official academic file.

Earlier this year, Nigeria's Presidential Election Petition Court dismissed Abubakar's petition against Tinubu's Feb. 25 election. However, Abubakar continues to fight the results here in Chicago.

As an educational institution, we are sometimes asked to provide information related to student records. Federal law known as FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) protects the privacy of student records and limits what an institution can release.

In August 2023, a request was made in U.S. federal court for the university to provide information related to educational records concerning Bola Tinubu, the President of Nigeria, and a former CSU student. The university has confirmed Tinubu attended CSU and graduated in 1979 with a bachelor's degree. Federal law, however, prevents us from providing any further information without consent or unless allowed to do so via court order.

CSU is confident in the veracity and integrity of our records regarding Tinubu's completion of graduation requirements and degree certificate. The university is not a party to the Nigerian legal proceedings that spurred this request, and a U.S. federal judge will determine whether the university will provide further requested information.

Our response to the request for Tinubu's academic records has been entirely consistent with our practices, policies and federal law. We would respond in exactly the same manner for any request for any student information by a third party.

Chaiii

The main issue here is, how come Tinubu has two different certificates issued by same university in same year and signed by different people?

I see Oluwole hand in this

This is shameful, individuals with questionable records should respect themselves and stay clear from Politics. Stop dragging the nation into a mess. Gosh!!!

What

Ok..... everything about this man is controversial everything just name it at first his headless mob were calling peter obi a third class Holder now look at where he find himself

As Original Akwa Ibom son, from ONNA Local government, Ikot Edor Village. I want to state categorically, that Yorubas are the major problem of this sick country. They contributes to about 89% of the problems that bedeviled this country. My maximum respect to the few rational Yorubas.

How on earth will someone see a disaster like Tinubu and went ahead to vote because of tribal and religious sentiment.

The earlier we divide and go our separate ways the better. They can make Tinubu their life Yoruba nation president, who cares. This crook is embodiment of disgrace to this nation. Thief and crook with dilapidated body.

Una go explain tire.

Honestly I know how inec bleeped up the whole system.. But am beginning to let him lead as president because am seeing him cooking something that will make Nigeria great again..

You cannot defend tilinbu without loosing relevance , it's not just possible.

The first transgender to gain admission with chemistry,physics and biology 🤡🤡

We are hypocrite in this country, contesting with a fake result is very bad, recently ,some elected Honourable and Senators that contested and won election were been sacked by tribunal ,why is Tinubu's case should be different?

Chicago, pls remove your hand from Nigeria politics and issues or your name will be permanently stained.

na wa

We're tired of all this Chicago nonsense. The man has won, let him serve.

If not for greed and personal interest, the three major opponents would have teamed up from the start to prevent this questionable character from getting into power. It's late now, let's move on.

Tinubu brings ill luck to any place he steps into



What an anathema of a human being!

Fingers crossed🤗

Some nitwits said as long as CSU confirmed Tinubu graduated, any degree certificate Tinubu submitted even with clear discrepancies, is irrelevant and that is a pre-election matter.

Drug lord doings.if u no,u no

David punish you dia

Lol

This is why I will always not like the white… if this issue was to be in their own country affecting any of their own politician would they have handled it this way?
The west has always supported substandard leadership in Africa to enable them continue their indirect neocolonial rule in Africa…
When every they see a country in Africa rising up to them they find any means to distabilize their government. All they are asking is just to confirm an academic record and they are going back and front

please i need a reply, i need a nigeria police complain number of which someone can complain to of leak nude, please it urgent, i need to help a friend, thanks

E go happen

Difficult to hide behind one finger, difficult to catch the wind, difficult to appease a sworn enemy!

The problem is why are you so intentionally daft?

CSU confirmed that Bola Tinubu not just that...they stated clearly under oath in a deposed affidavit that Bola Tinubu the President of Nigeria graduated from CSU.

So why would a confirmed graduate retort to Oluwole? Use your brain sometimes.
