Sen. Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress’s nominee for president, studied at Chicago State University.
Following a query from the institution, Farouk Kperogi, a Nigerian professor of mass communication who is located in the US, confirmed this on his Facebook profile.
He asked because there had been rumors that Tinubu might not have gone to college.
He had previously admitted to not having attended elementary or high school.
Kperogi wrote, “In light of renewed doubts about Tinubu’s qualifications, I again reached out to a colleague of mine at Chicago State University to help me verify if Tinubu graduated from the school. She told me he did but said she’d go ask at the Registrar’s office. She shared this with me.
“Apparently, the school prepared this in response to a cornucopia of inquiries from Nigeria. I can confirm that this is legitimate. The so-called FBI statement doing the rounds on social media that claims Tinubu didn’t graduate from Chicago State University appears to be a fabrication.”
