Nigeria's Ambassador to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has responded to the ongoing debate surrounding President Bola Tinubu's academic credentials, specifically his assertion that he graduated from Chicago State University. The controversy reignited on Sunday following a claim by former university lecturer, Dr Pearse Adetokumbo, who stated that Tinubu never attended the institution.
During an appearance on News Central TV, Adetokumbo claimed he worked at Chicago State University from 1985 to 1990 and found no proof to support Tinubu's graduation. He alleged that the president used a fabricated identity and was aware of the forged certificate. However, in a post on his official X account on Monday, Omokri insisted that Tinubu indeed attended and earned his degree from Chicago State University.
He stated that he personally visited the university and confirmed the accuracy of the president's academic records. Omokri urged Nigerian journalists to stop reporting false stories and instead travel to Chicago to verify the facts, as he had done.
