Political activist and ex-Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has suggested that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) should probe the Chicago State University authorities.

Frank made the request in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, where he urged the American security agencies to investigate the university for refusing to release President Bola Tinubu’s academic records.

According to him, it has become imperative for them to find out why a public institution like the university doesn’t want to release such a controversial certificate, which in the first place ought to be a public document.

He went on to say the probe if carried out will also help in determining the authenticity of the certificates issued to Americans who graduated from the University.

“Tinubu’s records are public documents because the Chicago State University is a public academic institution and not a secret cult organisation. After all, the fake certificate being paraded by Tinubu are on the website created by CSU for fake certificates and that of Tinubu is there as a bad imitation of the genuine Bola Tinubu (female).

“Tinubu is also a public servant that is duty bound to be accountable to Nigerians if he has nothing to hide or if the academic records he claims from the university are genuine.

“Or better still, if there is nothing fishy between him and the university. We believe the university should be proud to showcase the records of its former students by releasing them on demand except they have been compromised.

“If Tinubu’s certificate is genuine and something he is proud of, he should have allowed the university to release it to the public because he’s serving the public as he claims.

“There is no difference between what they are doing in America and what is being done in Nigeria. So, the US should do everything to give Nigerians the records required with all urgency.

“We appeal to the judge in the State of Chicago court to order the university to release those documents the way it would have been done if a U.S. citizen had made a similar application,” Timi Frank said.

He continued: “If Donald Trump could be on trial, why will someone seeking public office in Nigeria be shielded from scrutiny at the point of entry by public institutions in America? Is it that the President of Nigeria is not meant to be accountable to the citizenry?

“This is why we are calling on the American Secret Service – FBI and CIA – to investigate this clear act of possible bias on the part of Chicago State University because it does not speak well of CSU.
