In a recent statement, Bayo Onanuga, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has refuted claims made by supporters of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Atiku Abubakar regarding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s academic records at Chicago State University.
Onanuga responded to a user on social media who had posted documents related to Tinubu’s academic history.
The user contended that Tinubu should address the certificate controversy in the international media and called for the Supreme Court to disqualify him on grounds of certificate forgery and identity impersonation.
However, Onanuga asserted that opposition supporters were merely engaging in fruitless endeavors, emphasizing that President Tinubu had indeed attended and graduated from Chicago State University.
He claimed to have known this truth as early as 1999 and mentioned visiting the university as the editor-in-chief of his publication to obtain Tinubu’s first attestation letter from the school’s registrar.
Onanuga concluded by urging supporters of the Labour Party and the PDP to allow President Tinubu the space to govern without undue distractions.
In his statement, Onanuga said, “Supporters of Atiku and Peter Obi continue to chase shadows and waste time controverting President Tinubu’s attendance at Chicago State University.
The unassailable truth is that he attended the university and graduated in 1979. As far back as 1999, I knew this to be the truth. I visited the university as the editor-in-chief of my paper and collected from the school’s registrar the first attestation letter about Tinubu’s graduation.”
