Download the finalised copy of the deposition of Chicago State University registrar Caleb Westberg that confirmed that President Bola Tinubu forged the school’s certificate that he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

The October 3, 2023, oral testimony showed that Mr Tinubu violated Nigeria’s Constitution and is in legal jeopardy of having his presidency terminated and also disqualified from future presidential elections in Nigeria.

It followed a fierce court battled by Atiku Abubakar in the United States. Section 137 (1)(j) of the Nigerian Constitution (amended in 2010) specifically stated that no one would be legitimately elected president of Nigeria if the person “has presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.”
