Nigeria’s Ambassador to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has responded to renewed controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s academic qualifications, particularly his claim to have graduated from Chicago State University.
The controversy resurfaced on Sunday after a former lecturer at the institution, Dr Pearse Adetokumbo, alleged that Tinubu was never a student of the university.
Speaking during an interview on News Central TV, Adetokumbo said he worked at Chicago State University between 1985 and 1990 but found no evidence to show that the Nigerian president graduated from the institution.
He also accused Tinubu of using a false identity and claimed that the president was aware of the alleged certificate forgery.
However, reacting to the allegations in a post on his official X handle on Monday, Omokri insisted that Tinubu genuinely attended and graduated from Chicago State University.
The ambassador said he personally visited the institution, where he verified the authenticity of the President’s academic records.
He wrote, “I went to @ChicagoState University and proved that President Tinubu was admitted, attended, and graduated from there.
“I urge Nigerian journalists not to sit in studios peddling gossip, but to also go to Chicago, as I did, and verify.”
