Recently, Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), approached a US court for the northern district of Illinois in Chicago, for an order compelling CSU to release the academic records of Tinubu.
The president, through his counsel, filed a counter-application opposing the request for the release of his academic records.
Responding to Atiku’s application, CSU said it would release Tinubu’s records if a US court grants the order.
Amid the legal disputes, many Nigerians still don’t believe Tinubu truly graduated from the school. In fact, Atiku’s lawyers have intensified court battles in America. Amidst all these, Ogunsanya validated Tinubu’s old ties with CSU.
He said:
“People were being mischievous in the first place. We went to Chicago State University together. We were in the same department, college of accounting, business and administration.
“We were in the same class together. He attended Chicago State University, and he graduated.
“I am here to testify that he did attend the university and he was a good student.”

Following Ogunsanya's disclosure, some X (formerly Twitter) users, shared their delight with the update.
