Tinubu’s certificate controversy: Atiku makes fresh revelations

Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 election, has again questioned the controversy greeting the academic history of President Bola Tinubu.

Atiku, who is currently praying a United States of America court to prevail on the Chicago State University to clarify the inconsistency in the certificates it issued to President Tinubu, said unless a clarification is made, it is difficult, if not impossible, for the public to understand the academic journey of the former Lagos State Governor.

Taking to his verified X handle @atiku on Sunday, Atiku wrote, “I woke up this morning wondering how we got to this cul de sac. In 1999, @officialABAT (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) 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 Chicago State University.

“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 ask Tinubu how he attained this feat so that we can learn from his ingenuity.”
