‘No primary, sec. education?’ – Atiku mocks Tinubu’s academic record, says Chicago degree confusing

 

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, has mocked out the academic records of President Bola Tinubu.

Atiku, who is challenging the authenticity of Tinubu’s degree certificate issued by Chicago State University, in the United States, said the president’s academic record continues to be a major confusion in the country.

He stated this on his verified social media handles on Sunday.

His words : “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 😆 -AA”.

Abujapress reports that Atiku, who is a former Nigeria’s Vice President, came second in the 2023 presidential election, is challenging the outcome of the poll at the Presidential Election Petition Court, citing issues of rigging and other irregularities.
