BREAKING: Atiku Makes Fresh Allegation Against President Tinubu Over Chicago University Records

  • Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has alleged that President Tinubu's academic record did not reflect his primary and secondary education
  • The former vice president said that the claim was contrary to President Tinubu's record in 1999 when he contested for the governor of Lagos State
  • According to Atiku, the claim in Tinubu's academic record was something to worry about, asking how Tinubu could only attend Chicago State University in the US without primary and secondary education

Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer in the February 25 presidential election, has accused President Bola Tinubu of boycotting primary and secondary school education to move to Chicago State University.

The former vice president, in a tweet on Sunday, August 27, said Tinubu's claim in his 2023 record should be a concern for all Nigerians, asking how it was possible for the President to only attend Chicago State University in the United States without a primary and secondary education in Nigeria.

"St. John's Primary School, Aroloya, Lagos, before proceeding to Children's Home School in Ibadan. He said his next port of call in his educational journey was Government College Ibadan, Richard Daley College and Chicago State University in the United States.

Atiku then alleged that President Tinubu's academic record in 2023 was different from what was presented in 1999, adding that the president only said he attended Chicago State University without primary and secondary school educations.

Again, Atiku questions Tinubu's academic record

The former vice president then expressed his curiosity over the Children's discovery. He asked:

"Curiously, in 2023, Tinubu settled with attending only @ChicagoState. I am scratching my head. How is that possible?"
