The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Sunday expressed surprise how President Bola Tinubu allegedly attended the Chicago State University without primary and secondary certificates.
In a tweet posted on Sunday, Atiku, who had earlier written to source for the certificate of Tinubu at the CSU, wondered how Tinubu attended the university without having primary and secondary school certificates.
Atiku wrote, “I woke up this morning wondering how we got to this cul de sac. In 1999, Asiwaju 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 #AskTinubu how he attained this feat so that we can learn from his ingenuity.”
