BBC Gives Update After Backlash on Report About Tinubu’s CSU Certificate

The British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC has insisted that the platform is standing by its report, which debunked claims that the certificate obtained by President Bola Tinubu from the Chicago State University, CSU, is forged.

The news platform in response to the reactions that followed its initial report, said some persons were not happy with its position.

You will recall that the BBC had last week disclosed that there is no evidence that President Tinubu forged his CSU certificate as alleged.

However, the report had been trailed by condemnation from certain quarters including the camp of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

The Atiku camp went ahead to lodge a formal complaint with the BBC management about the article.

But following the backlash, the BBC in a letter signed by its Complaints Team, and addressed to its Audience Member at the weekend, said it is regrettable that some persons were unhappy with their findings.

The news organization however stated that that it is standing by the report because it believes the article is the truth, adding that the CSU also confirmed the authenticity of the certificate before they went public with the story.
