Why differences existed on Tinubu's certificate

In the affidavit, the institution told a court in Chicago:

”Chicago State University provided a Diploma to Bola Ahmed Tinubu and subsequently provided a certified copy of that Diploma. Both are valid and authentic Diplomas of the Chicago State University.”

According to the affidavit, certain differences existed between the diploma and certified copy. This was because the current President/Board Chairman signs all diplomas.
