Why Tinubu’s Certificate Controversy Persists — Shehu Sani

A former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has revealed why Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s certificate controversy persists.

Recall Tinubu told the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that his school certificates were stolen by unknown persons during the military rule.

The former governor of Lagos stated this in an affidavit submitted to INEC as part of his eligibility filings for the 2023 presidential elections.

In the documents released, Tinubu left the columns for his primary and secondary education unmarked.

Tinubu, however, noted that he obtained a degree in business and administration in 1979 at the Chicago State University.

This had created a controversy, particularly on social media.

Weighing in on the issue, Shehu Sani via his official Twitter handle, said, ” The Chicago issue was raised and settled nearly two decades ago. The point is that the controversy happened before the social media era.

“We now live in a new age. The inquisitive new generation, attitudinally, doubts & discredit historical events in the pre information technology era”.
