Reno Omokri reacts as Tinubu’s Chicago Varsity certificate faces fresh scrutiny
Nigeria’s Ambassador to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has reacted to the renewed controversy over President Bola Tinubu’s academic qualifications, particularly his claim that he 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 indicating that the Nigerian president graduated from the institution.
He further accused Tinubu of using a false identity, insisting 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 maintained that Tinubu genuinely attended and graduated from Chicago State University.
The ambassador said he personally visited the institution and verified the authenticity of the president’s academic certificate.
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.”
