I have collected my original certificate from Chicago university - Tinubu reveals

Presidential Candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has responded to critics of his educational qualifications, ridiculing them for wasting their resources on a wild goose chase.

According to Tinubu, he was born on March 29, 1952 and has never disowned his biological father.

Tinubu added that one of his fellow contestants who championed sundry allegations against him is now rumoured to not be a citizen of Nigeria but he (Tinubu) has never made it a campaign issue.

On his sojourn at Chicago State University, Tinubu disclosed that he now possesses his original certificate.

“I was dated March 29, 1952. My record is consistent. The records are there. The transcript is there. I am not claiming another father. I am Tinubu proper. If they want a DNA, they could ask for one.

"One of them has been accused of not even being a Nigerian citizen. I didn’t touch that area. Deloitte has confirmed me. Chicago State University can confirm it. Now, I can announce that I have received my original replacement degree certificate.

“Deloitte trained me as an accountant. Mobil has affirmed my records. In the private sector, who among them can brag about these?” he said on Monday, December 5, 2022 at the Chatham House.
