Contrary to rumours, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC’s presidential contender, attended Chicago State University, according to former presidential media adviser Reno Omokri.
During a recent visit to the university to acquire proof that Tinubu indeed attended Chicago State University from August 1977 through June 1979, Omokri claimed that he learned that Tinubu graduated with honours from the Accounting Department, where he majored.
However, Omokri stated that after publishing the documents, political candidates should be judged on their abilities rather than on the basis of lying. According to the records made public by Omokri, Tinubu majored in accounting and received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with honours on June 22, 1979.
Additionally, Omokri added: “On September 19, 2022, I went to see if Bola Tinubu attended the Chicago State University. I visited there, and there is video proof of my visit. Additionally, Tinubu’s attendance at Chicago State University was confirmed by Chicago State University.

Omokri advised everyone to go check for themselves that Tinubu actually attended the university and was a good student after providing the email address and phone number of Chicago State University in a video.
He asked reporters to thoroughly investigate their assertions before going to print.
“I don’t like Tinubu. However, if I am going to criticize him, I am not going to criticize him based on lies.
“I was interviewed by Arise TV and one of the journalists told a lie that a subpoena was sent to the Chicago State University by a lawyer and that the Chicago state university responded to it to say that Tinubu did not attend the university. That is a lie.”
