His educational history unclear – ADC guber candidate challenges Tinubu in fresh allegation

The 2027 African Democratic Congress, ADC, deputy governorship candidate in Lagos State, Babatunde Gbadamosi, has questioned President Bola Tinubu’s educational background, alleging that the president did not attend two institutions linked to his academic history.

Gbadamosi made the claims while expressing support for Dr Pearse Adetokunbo, whom he described as a man of integrity.

Recall that Adetokunbo, a former lecturer at Chicago State University, had accused President Bola Tinubu of falsely presenting himself as a former student of the American institution, insisting that the Nigerian leader never attended the university.

Adetokunbo also accused the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, of misleading Nigerians by defending claims that Tinubu studied at Chicago State University.

He also challenged claims surrounding Tinubu’s Government College Lagos attendance, insisting that the president could not have graduated from the institution in 1970 because it was established in 1974.

“I also know, contrary to the information that Chicago State University claimed to have on their records, that Bola Tinubu, man or woman, did not graduate from Government College Lagos in 1970, because the school was not established until 1974,” he said.

Gbadamosi, who said he attended the institution from 1978, added that he witnessed the graduation of its first set of students in 1979.

“Tinubu was not there,” he stated.

The ADC chieftain further alleged that Tinubu did not attend Government College Ibadan, claiming he had received information about the president’s educational history as far back as 1998.

Questioning the president’s style of governance, Gbadamosi asked: “If his educational history is this opaque, why are you surprised at his buccaneering style of governance?”

He also criticised the Tinubu administration over its borrowing, alleging that loans obtained by the government were being looted.

“Why are you surprised at the wholesale borrowing and looting of loans?” he queried.

Gbadamosi declared: “We are being ruled by brigands, but if Nigerians are to survive and prosper, that brigandage must end in 2027, no matter what!”
