He wrote in his weekly column:

“As I pointed out in a later column titled “Lies and Truth About Obi, Atiku, and Tinubu,” I can now confidently establish that the Bola A. Tinubu who graduated from CSU in 1979 is the same Bola A. Tinubu who is president of Nigeria today. I know this because the yearbook photo of the 1979 CSU cohort features the headshot of an unmistakably younger Tinubu, even though his last name was misspelled as “THUBV.”

Furthermore, Kperogi noted that schools can only confirm directory information such as whether or not a student graduated from a school, “which CSU has done repeatedly” in Tinubu’s case.
