“He Got It From Pinterest” – Tinubu’s Submitted Degree Certificate To INEC Exposed As Fake

An inquiry into the Chicago State University certificate given to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, by Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), reveals that it was acquired from the social media site Pinterest.

On Twitter David Hundeyin, an investigative journalist, who carried out the investigation wrote on the micro-blogging platform saying: “So it has really come to this in Nigeria? The ruling party’s candidate respects us so little that he submits an online certificate forgery template to INEC? This is what and where we are in 2022? This is it? We’re really that useless and unrated?”

In the same vein, an Abuja-based lawyer identified as Barrister Mike filed charges bordering on perjury and document falsification against Tinubu.

The development was made known by David Hundeyin during an interview on Arise TV on Tuesday.

On social media, critics of Mr Tinubu called for the APC presidential candidate’s disqualification from the 2023 general election in reaction to Hundeyin’s report.

Meanwhile, Tinubu has continued to trend recently for negative reasons.

Sadly for him, a United States company, Deloitte, where he claimed that he made $1.8 million from salaries and bonuses while working a consultancy job, denied employing him.

David Hundeyin shared a letter from the company following a subpoenaed order to it.

He wrote: “Bola Ahmed Tinubu has claimed that he made $1.8 million from salaries and bonuses while working a consultancy job at Deloitte USA.

“So we subpoenaed Deloitte USA to provide evidence of Tinubu’s employment and staff payment records, and this is what came back.”

Meanwhile, in a related story, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, reacted to the wide reports of Tinubu’s criminal forfeiture as it called for his disqualification in the forthcoming presidential election.

According to the PDP, Tinubu remains ineligible to contest the presidential elections by virtue of section 127 section (1)(d) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).

The PDP, however, called on INEC not to succumb to any form of blackmail of the APC but to deliver good judgement and disqualify Bola Ahmed Tinubu from contesting the presidential elections.

Part of PDP’s statement shared via its official Twitter handle reads: “It is no longer news that the Presidential Candidate of the @OfficialAPCNg, @officialABAT is irredeemably and hopelessly ineligible to contest the February 2023 Presidential election having been reportedly indicted and subjected to criminal forfeiture judgement for a narcotic related offence by a United States Court in Northern Illinois.

“Nigerians are however appalled by the lame attempt by the @OfficialAPCNg Presidential Campaign which, after admitting that there was a $460,000 drug money criminal forfeiture judgment against accounts traced to the @OfficialAPCNg Presidential Candidate, is now desperately trying to pull a wool over the eyes of the Nigerians people and our democracy institutions.

“The @OfficialAPCNg must note that its schemes, denials, threats and resort to violence cannot help @officialABAT. By the provision of Section 137 (1) (d) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) @officialABAT is not eligible to contest the Presidential election in Nigeria.
