FCT, Abuja - President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's legal representative, Wole Afolabi, has revealed that his client's certificate from the Chicago State University (CSU) carries a female status due to a mix-up on the party of the American institution.

The legal practitioner stated this during an interview on Channels' TV late-night show Politics Today on Thursday, September 5.

As quoted by Vanguard, Afolabi said:

“The transcript that was provided by Southwest College indicated F. It was clear. All of the other particulars did match information of President Bola Tinubu.

“Now, the registrar was interviewed on why the discrepancies. He said the person applying for the school ticked the box of a male not a female and when the admission letter was issued it was issued to Mr Tinubu.

“When the question was put to Dr West Brown, he said it is not unusual for universities to mix up. He (West Brown) has been to several universities. It is possible.”

While answering questions on the discrepancies found on the signature on the certificate, Afolabi said the certificates were not issued at the time of graduation until one applied for them.

He stated that the person who issued the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC might not have been in the university in 1979.

Afolabi's position on the alleged forgery is on the heels of the suit filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, before the District Court in Northern Illinois, USA.
