Former Chicago State University lecturer, Dr Pearse Adetokumbo, has accused President Bola Tinubu of falsely claiming to have attended the institution, insisting that he never studied there.
Speaking on News Central TV, Adetokumbo said he worked at the university between 1985 and 1990 and directed the programme Tinubu allegedly claimed to have attended.
He also accused Education Minister, Dr Tunji Alausa, of misleading Nigerians while defending Tinubu’s academic history, alleging that documents submitted to INEC contained names of schools the president never attended.
Adetokumbo said, “Well, I know that he didn’t even attend Chicago State University. The education minister works for the president. The education minister is lying.”
He added, “Do you know his real name? That [Tinubu] is not his name. Do you know the school he attended? Primary school? No. Secondary school? No.
“Look at the records he has been submitting to INEC since he’s been running. He never said he was homeschooled. He gave names for schools which he never attended. This man is a professional crook.”
