Our reporter/ Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday took to the social media to raise questions about President Bola Tinubu’s controversial academic records.
Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections, in a post via his X handle, questioned the Tinubu ’s academic credentials.
According to the former vice president, well-meaning Nigerians should be as confused as he is with Tinubu’s declaration that he had no primary and secondary education, yet has a university degree.
“I woke up this morning wondering how we got to this cul de sac. In 1999, @officialABAT claimed he attended St. John’s Primary School, Aroloya, Lagos, before proceeding to Children Home School in Ibadan. According to him, his next port of call in his educational journey was Government College Ibadan and, Richard Daley College and Chicago State University in the United States. Curiously, in 2023, Tinubu settled with attending only @ChicagoState. I am scratching my head. How is that possible? Methinks that all well-meaning Nigerians should be as confused as I am with Tinubu’s declaration that he had no primary and secondary education, yet he has a university degree. You may wish to #AskTinubu how he attained this feat so that we can learn from his ingenuity”, Atiku wrote.
Atiku and Peter Obi, the labour party presidential candidate is challenging Tinubu’s election victory at the Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal (PEPT).
His remark comes in the midst of his ongoing legal battle in a court in the United States to have Tinubu’s certificate and other related records made public by Chicago State University.
