Tell Tinubu to vacate office, Timi Frank urges US, UK, others

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank has called on members of the international community especially the EU, US, UK and ECOWAS to prevail on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to vacate office over certificate forgery.

Frank in a statement said authorities of the Chicago State University (CSU) had on Wednesday agreed under oath that a certain person named “Bola. A. Tinubu” attended the school but denied issuing the diploma Certificate he, the Bola Ahmed Tinubu that contested elections in Nigeria presented to INEC that is purported to have been issued by the school.

“The CSU documents revealed fake admission entry results used by a certain Bola A. Tinubu,   with a GCE purportedly obtained from Government College Lagos 1970 and South West College Illinois.

“The former was not in existence in 1970 but established in 1974 and the latter certificate in the United States contains particulars of a female including her Social Security Number.

“Nigerians will recall that the Bola Ahmed Tinubu that contested elections in Nigeria has a social security number in the documents of his Narcotics conviction in Chicago which are at variance and materially different from those presented by CSU belonging to the Bola A Tinubu that attended CSU. Is it therefore possible for a U.S Resident or citizen to have two social security numbers?

Frank in the statement also revealed that the CSU transcripts also carries as date of birth the date, 29 March 1954.

“Tinubu’s submission to INEC is 29 March 1952. This clearly shows that he lied to INEC under oath (Perjury) by the authority of the CSU papers.

Frank noted that by the revelation that Tinubu apparently forged the certificate presented to INEC, he is constitutionally not fit to remain as President of Nigeria.

He said now that it has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that Tinubu forged the certificate with which he contested the Presidential election in February 25, 2023, he is duty bound to vacate office as provided for in section 137(1)(j) of the constitution which stipulates that no one would be legitimately elected as President of Nigeria if the person has “presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.” A constitutional matter with very grave implications.

He added: “So we call on lovers of democracy, former Presidents, Rtd Justices of Supreme Court, traditional rulers, Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress, National Association of Nigerian Students, Nigeria Medical Association, Nigerian Bar Association and Civil Society Organizations to prepare for mass action to ensure that Tinubu vacates office as President. This is the last opportunity to take back our country from the gang of criminals who have hijacked the country.

“We also call on the authorities of ECOWAS to ask him to vacate the office of the chairman, otherwise, every decision that ECOWAS will take under his leadership will be null and void and will not be respected.
