Tinubu's university transcript: Nigerians react
Odekina Alilu said on Facebook:
"All politicians should allow Mr President to concentrate on the challenges confronting our dear nation Nigeria.
"Let us forget about the Chicago certificate. We are interested in his personal commitments to lift this country out of bondage by the past leaders of this country, let us back him up with prayers for the success of our lovely nation, Nigeria."
AY Deeni reacted:
"Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, thank you for applying for Tinubu's transcript. Now, we need yours and that of Gbajue too."
Idike K Chris asked:
"Whose transcript? The male or female Tinubu?"
Chicago State University speaks on certifying Tinubu's diploma
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Chicago State University (CSU) informed the United States (US) District Court for the Northern District of Illinois that it would not be able to certify President Tinubu's diploma under oath.
CSU's lawyer, Michael Hayes, told Judge Jeffrey Gilbert this during a recent court hearing.
However, a CSU spokesperson said the university can confirm the Nigerian president attended the varsity and graduated.
The spokesperson explained that the university cannot authenticate the diploma because it is a ceremonial document that is not part of a student's official academic file.
