Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Public Communications to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has criticized the BBC over its fact-check report stating that there was no evidence to show that President Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate was forged.
“Sometime last week, when the National Broadcasting Commission issued a final warning to Arise News TV, we pointed out that the Tinubu administration was on the verge of launching a full blown propaganda and also intimidating ‘uncooperative’ media houses into discrediting and downplaying the CSU scandal. Sadly, we never imagined that it would be the BBC that would become the willing tool.
“It is no wonder that in the last one year, the only news medium that was given exclusive access to interview Tinubu was the BBC. It is sickening that the BBC has decided to surrender its platform to a man who was accused of illegal drug trafficking in the United States., the BBC decided to bury in the last paragraphs the fact that Tinubu claimed to have attended Government College, Lagos in 1970 when the school was established in 1974.
“Tinubu said at Chatham House that he had received a replacement from CSU when the school said in unambiguous terms that he had not done so. What was the date he applied for his INEC replacement certificate from CSU, and when was it it issued to him? Furthermore, Shaibu criticized President Tinubu for holding only one cabinet meeting since taking office and accused him of being unprepared for governance, citing delays in appointing and inaugurating ministers and a lack of meetings with the cabinet. He suggested that Tinubu’s administration had brought hardships to Nigerians and questioned the effectiveness of his leadership.
