“Those of you in school, write it down. Call me a basta*rd if you spend more than eight years in school. You will be in school for eight years.”
Academic programmes in Nigerian universities typically run for four years with the exception of specialised studies such as law and medicine, which last five and six years respectively.
The comment has further fuelled criticism from Nigerians on social media, who maintain that Tinubu is not fit for the rigorous job of leading the country.

The Guardian reports that Tinubu, while speaking in Osogbo, restated that he helped President Muhammadu Buhari to power and would succeed him.
His words:
“We brought them into power and we will succeed them. Keep your mind at rest. On election day, even if they extend polling boots to Egbatedo, we will win.”
