Durojaiye Ogunsanya: Tinubu was my classmate at Chicago University | We mocked his Nigerian accent

AUTHOR: Ayodele Oluwafemi

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 10:45

Durojaiye Ogunsanya, a public affairs analyst, says he was a classmate of President Bola Tinubu at the Chicago State University (CSU).

During a chat with TVC on Monday, Ogunsanya said he graduated alongside Tinubu at CSU from the department of ing and business istration in 1979.

CONTROVERSY OVER ACADEMIC RECORDS

Over the past few months, the academic records of Tinubu have been the subject of controversy.

Opposition political parties continue to raise questions over the authenticity of the university certificate presented by the president before the 2023 elections.

Tinubu’s academic records show that he graduated from CSU in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in business istration, ing, and management.

However, there are allegations that the Tinubu who attended CSU is different from the current president of Nigeria.

Amid the controversy, Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in a suit filed before the US district court, asked the court to subpoena CSU over Tinubu’s academic files.

‘WE MOCKED HIS ACCENT’

During the interview, Ogunsanya was asked what he was thinking when he heard about the controversy over Tinubu’s academic records.

“We were in the same department, class, and college,” he said.

“We met in school at Chicago State University (CSU) and we were in the same department — college of ing, business istration — with a major in ing.

“We graduated together. He did attend the Chicago State University and he graduated in 1979 as I did. I’m here to testify that he did attend the university and he was a good student.

“People were being mischievous in the first place because he was a governor for eight years, he worked for Mobil for several years and you are contesting that he did not go to university. How is that possible?

“I can’t imagine how that is possible. Sometimes, the president might be embellished but that does not mean he did not attend university.”

Speaking further, Ogunsanya said Tinubu was elected as the president of the ing student club at CSU between 1978/1979.

He added that colleagues often mocked Tinubu for his “deep” Nigerian accent in the US.

“We were of the ing club in the school. When the time for the election came, the president surprised me,” he said.

“There was a time he became the president of the club. Go and check it out. We were even laughing at him with his accent.

“He had a Nigerian accent and because of that we were laughing at him.”

He added that Tinubu was a sociable and ambitious person during his days at the CSU.

As a faithful Obidient, I don't care whether he attended CSU or not. Our aim is to distract Tinubu and make his istration ungovernable. This will help His excellency Peter Obi remain relevant till 2027 so that he can deputise Atiku Abubaker in 4-yrs time.

Sir publish your CSU certificate online let's compare with your fonts, signatures of CSU president,year of graduation and logos with tinubu's.I am sure there will be some discrepancies in both.

The validity of the Bola Tinubu's CSU certificate that he tendered to INEC in 1999 and 2023 is a seriously issue of legal dispute unless proven otherwise. Someone who didn't have a well traceable parenthood, brothers, sisters, primary/secondary schoolmate suddenly have a classmate in a school that even his studentship have credibility issues.

A paid shill

You see why respected and reverential people need not politics especially the Pastors. A Pastor said He didn't have classmate on the pulpit where truth and holy things are expected to be spoken without been bias. Indeed God is the most merciful
