"Tinubu enjoys covert shielding from US": Soyombo
Despite confirming that President Tinubu indeed graduated from the university on a couple of occasions in the past, some Nigerians continued to raise doubts about the validity of the certificate.

Soyombo, although said he believes Tinubu indeed graduated from the Chicago State University going by what he discovered in the president's previous school, Richard J. Daley College, the United States is "shielding" him (Tinubu).
He wrote across his verified social media pages on Saturday, September 16:
“The dispute (and hoopla) over Tinubu’s studentship of Chicago State University was always unnecessary. From inference, I always knew he studied there. While I was in the US last year, I made a stopover at the Richard J. Daley College in Chicago, where I physically — and subsequently, electronically — confirmed he was their student. It is easier to manufacture studentship of the college than the university’s itself. It’s impossible to indeed attend the Daley college and falsely claim to have attended Chicago State University. Since personally confirming his college status, I knew he definitely attended the uni.
"However, from all my interactions in Chicago, I can tell you for free that Tinubu does enjoy some covert shielding from the US. There was this reticence to engage, this subtle unwillingness and edginess to release information unless pushed to the wall, that unmistakably betrays a latent concession to protect the man who would clearly become Nigeria’s next president, by hook or crook. Make of that information whatever you will, but the stench is likely unrelated to the VALIDITY of his US educational status. Rather, it is more about the MANNER of attaining that education status and how that knowledge could trigger further information about his other private conducts and non-educational claims."
