Olarewaju said the thrust of the controversy surrounding Tinubu’s Chicago State University (CSU’s) academic record is “stolen identity”, a phenomenon he described as “common in the 70s and 80s before biometrics was introduced”.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain submitted that “there was never any certificate issued to Tinubu in 1997”, adding that Tinubu CSU disowned the certificate the incumbent Nigerian leader submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the February polls.

Olarewaju expressed optimism that his principal will get ‘justice’ at the Supreme Court.

He wrote:

“'1997' in the CSU documents was an error by their lawyer, Michael Hayes. He admitted this at the deposition yesterday. There was never any certificate issued to Tinubu in 1997, otherwise, he'd have presented it in 1998 to INEC.”
