Keyamo’s Tweet

But why is the result showing the F for Female description instead of M for male?In the record released, CSU confirmed it found three diplomas matching the certificate Tinubu presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, after a diligent search.

The result showing “F” for female is sex description

The release of the documents by CSU confirms that Tinubu graduated from CSU in 1979 although observers say the released documents raised other questions.

One of the questions raised is Tinubu’s gender, which was listed as female “F”. Others pointed out that the certificate Tinubu presented to INEC is different from what was released by CSU and they argued that this is tantamount to “forgery”.

In the document Tinubu presented to INEC, it was stated that he graduated “with honors” (This means graduating with one of the best grades in the whole faculty and school in general). However, the document presented by CSU doesn’t reflect this.

Recall that a United States District Court in Northern Illinois had on Saturday, Sept. 30, ordered the Chicago State University (CSU) to release the academic records of Tinubu to Atiku.

The development came after a U.S Judge, Nancy Maldonado, adopted all the ruling of Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert of the U.S. District Court. Tinubu had objected to the Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert ruling ordering the immediate release of the academic records by the CSU.

Justice Nancy Maldonado in a judgment dismissed the objection raised by Tinubu against Atiku’s request and expressly ordered that the CSU must submit the academic records to Atiku.

A popular ghost blogger, Gistlover before the presidential elections, Once called out Tinubu on the bases that the name “Bola Tinubu” wasn’t his name but was adopted. The blogger insisted that the name belonged to a female belonging in the family who adopted him (the president) After their biological daughter died. No one knows the truth regardless.

Well, Nigerians are asking for clearifications.
