We analysed all of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are three different diplomas for Mr Tinubu that we refer to throughout our analysis:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe original one, from 1979, which he has said in the past, was lost when he went into exile in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second one that he submitted to Inec \u2013 supposedly a replacement diploma from CSU (it is similar to diplomas issued by CSU in the 1990s).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdditionally, CSU holds another replacement diploma for Mr Tinubu that they say is probably from the early 2000s that he never collected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe allegations on social media are based on comparing the document Mr Tinubu submitted to Inec and the 1979 diplomas released by CSU.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the British media organisation, the deposition by CSU\u2019s registrar, Caleb Westberg, also attested that Nigeria\u2019s leader did not forge his diploma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr Westberg said the template of CSU\u2019s diploma has changed several times over the years. He said any request for a new diploma would resemble the current template at that time, no matter when the student graduated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe BBC reached out to Mr Tinubu\u2019s team to get a copy of the diploma in question. They sent what they said was the only existing copy of the diploma. It is a black and white photocopy identical to what was submitted to INEC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother claim, made by a fact-checking organisation in Nigeria, was that the diploma Mr Tinubu submitted was not from CSU as its diplomas do not include the phrase \u201cwith honours\u201d under the degree name.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the BBC found that while this was not reflected in the other diplomas released by CSU, it does appear in Mr Tinubu\u2019s diploma issued in the early 2000s, which Mr Westberg authenticated during his deposition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has the words \u201cwith honours\u201d \u2013 a match with the diploma with the same detail submitted by the President to INEC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr Westberg said that the school could authenticate this particular diploma because it was still in its possession as it was never picked up,\u201d it stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot every student graduates from university with honours. Mr Tinubu, as attested to by CSU in several court documents seen by the BBC, did graduate from CSU with honours.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reactions had trailed
