Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Bayo Onanuga, a former media aide to President Bola Tinubu, has criticized supporters of the 2023 presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, over their stance on the president\u2019s certificate.<\/p>\n

Onanuga said Atiku and Obi\u2019s supporters are wasting their time and chasing shadows by controverting Tinubu\u2019s attendance at the Chicago State University.<\/p>\n

He maintained that the truth remains that Tinubu attended the Chicago State University and graduated in 1979.<\/p>\n

Onanuga was reacting to some documents posted by a Twitter user claiming that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, had asserted that Tinubu did not attend the Chicago State University.<\/p>\n

Tweeting, he wrote: \u201cSupporters of Atiku and Peter Obi continue to chase shadows and waste time controverting President Tinubu\u2019s attendance of Chicago State University. The unassailable truth is that he attended the university and graduated in 1979. As far back as 1999, I knew this to be the truth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI visited the university as the editor-in-chief of my paper and collected from the school\u2019s registrar, the first attestation letter about Tinubu\u2019s graduation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe document you gleefully posted on the right shows your confusion and malice. It speaks about University of Chicago and not CSU. Can you and your band please allow President Tinubu to breathe, to enable him face the serious business of governance?\u201d<\/p>\n
