Tinubu Graduated from Chicago State University in 1979, Reno Omokri Insists.
Omokri, in a statement yesterday, said he personally visited Chicago State University on September 19, 2022, where he confirmed that Tinubu was admitted to, attended, and graduated from the institution.
He said the university provided him with a document confirming the president’s academic records, which he attached to his statement.
He also recalled that on October 3, 2023, the university’s Registrar, Caleb Westberg, testified under oath before a court that Tinubu attended and graduated from the institution in 1979.
According to Omokri, the BBC Global Disinformation Team subsequently corroborated the findings of his visit and the registrar’s testimony in a report published on October 11, 2023. He said the BBC investigation found allegations that Tinubu forged a diploma from the institution to be false. Omokri further referenced the Supreme Court judgement of October 26, 2023, stating that the apex court has dismissed allegations questioning Tinubu’s graduation from the university as lacking merit. He described renewed questions about the president’s academic qualifications as politically motivated, alleging that some political interests are attempting to revive allegations he considered already disproved.
