Former Vice President and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the last election, Atiku Abubakar, has said all well-meaning Nigerians should be confused over President Bola Tinubu’s academic record.
Atiku, in a tweet parodying Tinubu’s educational feat, said the president, in 1999, listed his primary and secondary schools, but was silent on them in 2023.
He said it was curious that, in 2023, Tinubu settled with attending only Chicago State University.
Atiku recently petitioned a court in the United States to make Chicago State University unveil Tinubu’s academic record.
The PDP candidate is also challenging Tinubu’s electoral victory at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).
The PDP candidate urged Nigerians to ask Tinubu how he attained this feat so that “we can learn from his ingenuity.”
Atiku, in his tweet said, “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 -AA,” he said.
