BBC says NO EVIDENCE, so case closed

There is no evidence that the diploma Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu submitted to the country's electoral commission was forged, the BBC's Global Disinformation Team has found.

Allegations that President Tinubu's certificates were faked went viral on social media following the release by Chicago State University (CSU) of his academic records last week.

We have looked at some of the most widely circulated claims.

The release of the president's academic documents is the culmination of a judicial case filed in August by one of his main rivals in February's presidential election, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).


Mr Abubakar was hoping to have the victor disqualified after accusing him of falsifying the CSU diploma of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration awarded in 1979 that he submitted to the electoral authority (Inec).

To obtain evidence for his case in Nigeria, Mr Abubakar approached a US court in August, requesting it to compel CSU to release Mr Tinubu's academic records through a process called discovery, where the parties exchange information including documents ahead of a trial.

Mr Tinubu's lawyers opposed the discovery application, citing privacy concerns, but the US court decided it should proceed.

The documents requested by Mr Abubakar were:

A copy of any diploma issued by CSU in 1979
A copy of the diploma CSU gave to Mr Tinubu in 1979
Copies of diplomas with the same font, seal, signatures, and wording awarded to other students that are similar to what CSU awarded to Mr Tinubu in 1979
Documents from CSU that were certified by Jamar Orr, who was then a staff member of CSU, in the 12 months from 1 August 2022
In response to request one, CSU submitted seven diplomas covering different disciplines with the names of the students redacted. According to the university's registrar, these diplomas had not been collected by the students.

In response to request two, CSU stated that it could not find the diploma they issued to Mr Tinubu in 1979, because they do not keep copies of diplomas already collected by students.

In response to request three, CSU stated that it produced for Mr Tinubu a replacement diploma dated 27 June 1979. It also released diplomas awarded to other students that bore similar font, seal, signatures and wordings as Mr Tinubu's diplomas.

In response to request four, CSU submitted other academic documents initially attested to and released by Mr Orr.

The Many Names of Atiku's Stolen Identities

So Atiku used his elder brother's WAEC certificate to get a job at customs Nigeria?

No wonder he thinks everybody is like himself

Even Jeffrey Gutterman is getting tired of their FAKENEWS and acute STUP!DITY.

zomby:
Don't let us disrespect comedians all around the world. These 2 losers are simply confused, clueless and severely deranged.

Atiku "Captured" Obidients as they Abandoned Peter Obi

How @atiku misrepresented fact as per Nomination of his VP in ACN 2007:

1: Recall that @atiku
was already promised by MKO Abiola to become his VP. So the issue of Muslim - Muslim ticket was settled.

2: The AC agreed that Atiku should be their Presidential Candidate. No disagreement.

3: One man called Bashir Yusuf Ibrahim brought a blank form for Baba Akande who was the Chairman to sign. The form was INEC nomination form. Baba refused to sign.

4: It was known that Atiku should have chosen his running mate from AD elements of ACN.

5: Names Atiku failed to mention in his local press conference were Segun Osoba, Niyi Adebayo and Lam Adeshina .

6: They met Atiku and Tinubu was proposed to him. Atiku promised to get back to the delegation. They met at a later date.

7: Those who attended the meeting were: Atiku, Audu Ogbe, Tom Ikimi and Usman Bugaje, Osoba, Niyi Adebayo, Baba Akande and Lam Adeshina.

8: AD proposed TINUBU as VP. Again, Atiku said he needed more consultations. Ikimi, Ogbe and others were all strong against Tinubu because of Muslim - Muslim ticket.

9: The meeting was DEADLOCKED. Atiku NEVER SAID ANYTHING.

10: But anytime the party needs money, Atiku would say “ Bola pls help us”

11: Atiku did not consult other blocs of ACN when he picked Ben Obi.

12: Baba Lawan Kaita confessed to Baba Akande who was the authority to sign INEC form that Atiku had chosen Ben Obi as his running mate.

13: Baba Akande eventually signed.

14: Only, LAGOS state from South West voted for Atiku in all the South West states.

15: Atiku deceived AD elements of ACN. That was the point N- PDP members raised whey he was avoided at first during merger of APC.

16: Tinubu was campaigning for Atiku/ Ben Obi after that betrayal.

17: Who and who financed the Presidential campaign?

18: So who betrayed who and who?

I’m focused on reclaiming my mandate at S/Court, Obi replies Atiku

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/10/tinubus-certificate-im-focused-on-reclaiming-my-mandate-at-s-court-obi-replies-atiku/

Don’t twist History @atiku: In 1993, Atiku as usual contested our party then, SDP Presidential Primary in Jos.

2: First Ballot, Atiku scored 2,066 votes. kinigbe scored 3,225 while the big elephant then scored 3617.

3: A second ballot was the next thing as the vote between Kinigbe and MKO was less than 400.

4: So MKO got into a deal with Atiku to support him.

5: Each contestant were allowed to speak and when it was in turn of Atiku, he directed his supporters like 342 Gov to vote MKO in exchange of the post of Vice President.

6: In 1993, Atiku supported Muslim - Muslim ticket.

7: In his own book, he wrote it. He said, I quote “ we would support MKO’s candidacy for Presidency in return for making me ( here ATIKU) his running mate.

8: We met Abiola and we agreed to push for ABIOLA - ATIKU ticket “ end of quote.

9: So why misleading the public that you have been consistent against MUSLIM- MUSLIM.

10: You wrote this in your book. The book titled is “ my life” autobiography.

11: He repeated the same story in his book authored by a respected man, Onukaba.

12: fact check: Atiku misled the public on Muslim - Muslim ticket. Argue with his book

@OP, do you even know what ex-factory price means? It means what distributors pay per bag. Then you add distributors margin (10%), transportation (another 10 - 15 %), then retailers margin. By the time it reaches the man at Ogba, it would be N4500 to N5000.

The ex-factory price is the cost of a product when it leaves the manufacturer's facility, excluding any additional costs such as transportation, taxes, or retailer markups.

BUA Cement reduces ex-factory cement prices to N3,500/bag effective October 2, 2023.
——- -
We refer to our previous pronouncements regarding our intent to reduce cement prices upon the completion of our new lines at the end of the year, in order to spur development in the building materials and infrastructure sectors.

As per the commitment made to reduce prices and following a periodic review of our operations for efficiency, the management of BUA Cement Plc wishes to announce and inform our esteemed customers, stakeholders, and the public that effective October 2, 2023, we have decided to bring the price reduction forward. As a result, BUA Cement would now be sold at an ex-factory* price of 3,500 Naira per bag so that Nigerians can begin to enjoy the benefits of the price reduction before the completion of our plants.

Upon completion of the ongoing construction of our new plants, which would increase our production volumes to 17million metric tonnes per annum, BUA Cement PLC intends to review these prices further in line with our earlier pronouncements by the first quarter of 2024.

NOTE: all pending, undelivered orders which had been paid for at the old prices will be reviewed downwards to N3500/bag in line with the new pricing from October 2, 2023. Our licensed dealers are also enjoined to ensure that end-users benefit from this reduction in ex-factory prices as we will monitor field sales to ensure compliance.

Signed:
