Atiku’s Camp Drags FBI, CIA Into Tinubu’s Certificate Saga

The camp of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has intensified pressure on the United States authorities over the certificate claims of President Bola Tinubu with one of the former VP’s associates calling on the  Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to investigate the authorities of Chicago State University over their dithering procrastination in releasing the academic records of the president.

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, said the call was needed to determine the authenticity of the certificates offered to Americans who graduated from the university that has now been called to question by President Tinubu’s  claims that the university awarded him a certificate that was littered with errors by an unnamed employee of the university which he had tendered before Nigerian authorities.

GWG.ng reports that before Atiku dragged Tinubu to the FBI that the president had volunteered that a clerical officer in the Chicago State University made the errors in his certificate.

He said in order that law abiding Nigerians are not made to believe that there is a level of compromise and complicity by the university in trying to shield Tinubu’s academic record claims from public scrutiny despite such doubtful credentials that do not match the standards of any American academic records, independent institutions in the United State need to step in.

Why FBI, CIA Should Intervene Into Tinubu Certificate Claim – Atiku’s Ally

He insisted the intervention is necessary because in previous electoral claims by Tinubu, he had also blamed errors in his academic record on other third parties.

He said rather than allow Tinubu’s current claims of errors by unstated third parties in the CSU, the university authority owes the American and Nigerian public the duty to publicly state the facts as they are, that Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu, male, born in 1952, attended the University and submitted credentials that are accessible to the Nigerian Court System where Tinubu seeks to hold the highest office in the land, an office that requires unblemished integrity, honesty and public trust.

Frank said: “Tinubu’s records are public documents because the Chicago State University is a public academic institution and not a secret cult organisation. After all, the fake certificate being paraded by Tinubu is on the website  created by CSU for fake certificates, and that of Tinubu is there as a bad imitation of the genuine Bola Tinubu (female).

“Tinubu is also a public servant that is duty bound to be accountable to Nigerians if he has nothing to hide or if the  academic records he claims from the university are genuine.

“Or better still, if there is nothing fishy between him and the university, we believe the university should be proud to showcase the records of its former students by releasing them on demand except they have been compromised.

“If Tinubu’s certificate is genuine and something he is proud of, he should have allowed the university to release it to the public because he’s serving the public as he claims.”

He urged the university not to ruin its image and reputation through conduct inimical to its integrity by refusing to release required records.

He added: “We advise the US government not to destroy its long-standing relationship with Nigeria because of one man.

“Otherwise, this case  will make the world see the university system in the US as corrupt and compromised because we understand how the American system works.

“If Tinubu is the President of America and American citizens request for his academic information, will they not grant the request?

“They will do so because every President of America and those holding public offices are answerable to the public, that underpins the principle of accountability.

“If Donald Trump could be on trial, why will someone seeking public office in Nigeria be shielded from scrutiny at the point of entry by public institutions in America? Is it that the President of Nigeria is not meant to be accountable to the citizenry?

“This is why we are calling on the American Secret Service – FBI and CIA – to investigate this clear act of possible bias on the part of Chicago State University because it does not speak well of CSU,” the Atiku ally said in respect of Tinubu’s claim on his certificate.

“Except, of course, it is a conspiracy of the United States and the Chicago State University to cover the illegality between Tinubu and Nigerians to be able to manipulate him for U.S interest.

“This would therefore mean they don’t care whether there is a legitimate or illegitimate government in the country.
