Certificate forgeries: Before we Miss the Trajectory

APART from making slips, criminals are usually ahead of law enforcement agents, sometimes very far ahead that many crimes remain uncovered and unsolved. They are indeed smart, very smart! The All Progressives Congress, APC have succeeded in sending parties contesting their heist of February 25 to wild goose chases in a very well-planned and orchestrated manner.

If you listened to Justice Mary Odili give her ‘valedictory’ speech and listened to what, for the most part, still remains a shocker in name of judgement delivered by Justice Haruna Tsammani and his gang few days later, it would have been very clear to the critical thinker how diligently these bunch had perfected their steal before they struck.

Today, they craftily diverted all attention to Chicago as if all their atrocities could be wiped away with a favourable outcome of the legal war going on in the district of Illinois, United States. Kudos to HE Atiku Abubakar for going the extra mile, expending resources to uncover our president’s obvious iniquities buried in the academic records of one American university. But neither Atiku nor the Supreme Court needed that exercise, whatever the outcome, to convince that the man in the eye of the storm is adjudged by close associates as a proven forger, who also recklessly perjures in the act without blinking.

As a candidate, he presented an NYSC PARTICIPATORY certificate in 1999 and presented an NYSC EXEMPTION certificate 24 years later to the same INEC – both under oath. Anywhere in the world, it only means either or both certificates were forged. Tsammani and his gang ignored what primary school children know as a blatant crime and absolved a man, who now sits as a president of over 200 million people!

Well, Atiku’s efforts were not in vain, far from it. President Joe Biden not only cancelled proposed meeting with the man in the eye of the storm while he attended the United Nations Congress in New York, but also no member of the American government met with the president of Africa’s most populous nation. It all had to do with the former vice president’s efforts in deepening the Chicago Gate. And more – the the man Americans now regard as a forger sneaked away after his blurred speech at the UN without meeting with the press that were waiting to drill him. The fear of answering questions on his Chicago affair became his beginning of wisdom!

So, huge kudos to Atiku for exposing that the man presently in charge of the affairs of the most populous black nation on earth is not just being regarded by most people as a local forger skilled in NYSC affairs, he also stunned interests from developed countries by invading an institution as big as an American university to ‘Nigerianise’ things just because he wanted to be president.

While we scavenge the debris of Bola A. Tinubu files at Chicago, many things are very clear. The man most likely has no other academic certificate. The academic qualification required for Nigeria’s presidency is just minimum of School Certificate or its equivalent. Since his Chicago certificate saga almost landed him in jail years earlier, a man like him would have completely jettisoned any affair with Chicago and presented just his School Certificate or GCE or Cambridge like his predecessor sweated to provide four years ago. But because he evidently had no other known certificate, he stuck with Chicago’s, even when it involved forging and perjuring all the way.

Another fact is his true identity. There is more, much more in sinister levels, behind the true identity of the man who close associates openly describe as one that would rather perjure than tell who he was before he inherited the identity in Chicago. The FBI files will certainly do justice to that. Nigeria has had it bad, even terrible, with characters of their leaders, but this is no doubt one character even the best thriller writers will find most intriguing. It is no longer one week one trouble. It is indeed trouble ala carte.
