The camps of PDP’s Atiku Abubakar and LP’s Peter Obi protest a BBC report dismissing evidence of President Tinubu’s CSU diploma forgery.
The Global Disinformation Team concluded there was no proof of forgery in the submitted academic records.
The certificate controversy, initiated by Atiku, has been a focal point since the last election. BBC’s investigation sheds light on the discrepancies in the diplomas and the evolving template of CSU’s documents.
Atiku’s camp criticizes the BBC report as a purported propaganda tool for the Tinubu administration. The report is seen as part of a larger strategy to downplay the CSU scandal, drawing parallels to previous warnings by the National Broadcasting Commission to media houses.
Phrank Shaibu, Atiku’s Special Assistant on Public Communications, accuses the BBC of conducting a biased investigation aimed at clearing Tinubu. He calls on media organizations and fact-checkers to exercise caution and invest more in investigative journalism.
Shaibu points out that the BBC’s failure to uncover Tinubu’s alleged scandals reflects a lapse in investigative journalism, urging media outlets to be more thorough in their reporting.
Additionally, he lambasts the President for holding only one cabinet meeting since taking office 135 days ago.Shaibu points out that the BBC’s failure to uncover Tinubu’s alleged scandals reflects a lapse in investigative journalism, urging media outlets to be more thorough in their reporting.
