A former lecturer at Chicago State University, Adetokunbo Pearse, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu never attended the institution, sparking widespread reactions across social media platforms. Dr. Pearse appeared on News Central TV on Sunday night and described Tinubu as a "professional crook." He claimed that Tinubu did not attend the university and therefore has no integrity.
The allegations have sparked heated debates on social media, with several Nigerians calling for further investigation into the president's academic records. Many have expressed shock and disappointment, questioning the authenticity of Tinubu's educational background. Some have also linked the controversy to the All Progressives Congress (APC), labeling it a party of "lies, deceit, propaganda, evil acts, violence, and bad governance."
Several Nigerians have taken to social media platform X to share their thoughts on the matter. @TheTestame45349 questioned the timing of the revelation, asking "why now?" and who exactly is Bola Tinubu. @luvinxtain expressed satisfaction that a former lecturer at Chicago State University has come forward to speak about Tinubu's false claims.
@drkenon2 and @ogbeniadekunle have expressed support for Dr. Pearse, confirming that Tinubu never attended Chicago State University. @drkenon2 noted that Dr. Pearse was a lecturer and program director at CSU for the same program Tinubu claimed to have attended. Meanwhile, @anthonyabakporo urged Tinubu to take a cue from Peter Obi and call CSU to release his credentials.
The development has raised concerns about the authenticity of Tinubu's academic records, which have been a subject of controversy for a while now. While some have called for further investigation, others have expressed skepticism about the possibility of uncovering the truth.
The presidency has yet to react to the allegations, but Nigerians are eagerly waiting for an official response. As the controversy continues to unfold, many are left wondering about the implications for Tinubu's presidency and the country's governance.
Key stakeholders, including opposition parties and civil society groups, are likely to seize on the controversy, demanding greater transparency and accountability from the presidency. The incident has also raised questions about the vetting process for presidential candidates and the need for stricter scrutiny of their academic and professional backgrounds.
