He said:
“The transcript that was provided by Southwest College indicated F. It was clear. All of the other particulars did match the 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.”
Atiku, Obi told to release academic records
In an earlier report by Legit.ng, a political group, Team Beta Naija, gave both Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi seven-day deadline to release their academic records.
Failure to comply, Team Beta Naija said, the opposition leaders would face legal action.
Atiku puts faith in Supreme Court
Legit.ng also reported that Atiku said he would only 'drop his fight' with Tinubu "when the Supreme Court of Nigeria rules".
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, October 5, Atiku insisted President Tinubu forged his CSU certificate.
