  "account": "Babatunde Gbadamosi, the deputy governorship candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Lagos State, has challenged President Bola Tinubu's educational background. Gbadamosi accused the president of not attending two institutions, Chicago State University and Government College Lagos, which were allegedly mentioned in Tinubu's academic history. The ADC chieftain made these allegations while endorsing Dr Pearse Adetokunbo, a man of integrity. Adetokunbo, a former lecturer at Chicago State University, had previously accused Tinubu of falsely claiming to be a former student of the American institution, stating that the Nigerian leader never attended the university. Gbadamosi, who attended Government College Lagos from 1978, stated that the president could not have graduated from the institution in 1970 because it was established in 1974. He also challenged the claim that Tinubu attended Government College Ibadan, alleging that he had received information about the president's educational history as far back as 1998. Gbadamosi questioned the Tinubu administration's governance style, asking why Nigerians were surprised at the president's buccaneering approach, given the opaque nature of his educational background. He further criticized the administration for wholesale borrowing and alleged looting of loans. \"We are being ruled by brigands, but if Nigerians are to survive and prosper, that brigandage must end in 2027, no matter what!\"",
