Tell us how you got university degree without primary, secondary education, Atiku taunts Tinubu

• Atiku wondered how President Tinubu attended Chicago State University without primary and secondary education
• He called on Nigerians to help him unravel the Tinubu’s conundrum

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, has sarcastically extolled the educational ingenuity of President Bola Tinubu.

This is coming amid the latest waves of controversies that dog Tinubu’s academic records at Chicago State University (CSU), United States.

The issue is currently a subject of litigation after the former Vice President approached a U.S. court for an injunction to compelling CSU to release the academic records of Tinubu.

Tinubu’s credentials show that he graduated from CSU in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, accounting and management.

However, there are obvious discrepancies in the certificate that Tinubu submitted to INEC and another one from CSU which showed that the gender of the person that attended the university was female. The year of graduation and date of birth were also different from the one being paraded by Tinubu.

Tinubu on Thursday, however, said the disparities in the two certificates were due to mistakes made by an unnamed clerk who issued them.

Taking to his Twitter account on Sunday, Atiku wondered how President Tinubu attended Chicago State University without primary and secondary education.

He said Tinubu must have been a genius to achieve such an academic feat. He called on Nigerians to help him unravel the Tinubu’s conundrum.

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.”
