Atiku Abubakar, Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections has mocked President Bola Tinubu over his academic record.

Atiku, who is challenging the authenticity of Tinubu’s degree certificate issued by Chicago State University in the United States, stated that Nigerians should be “confused” as he is about “President Tinubu’s declaration that he had no primary and secondary education, yet he has a university degree.

He tweeted;

“I woke up this morning wondering how we got to this cul de sac. In 1999, @officialABAT claimed he attended St. John’s Primary School, Aroloya, Lagos, before proceeding to Children Home School in Ibadan. According to him, his next port of call in his educational journey was Government College Ibadan and, Richard Daley College and Chicago State University in the United States. Curiously, in 2023, Tinubu settled with attending only @ChicagoState. I am scratching my head. How is that possible? Methinks that all well-meaning Nigerians should be as confused as I am with Tinubu’s declaration that he had no primary and secondary education, yet he has a university degree. You may wish to #AskTinubu how he attained this feat so that we can learn from his ingenuity -AA”
