Omokri defends Tinubu, says he attends Chicago State University

A socio-political activist and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Reno Omokri, explained that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended and graduated from the Chicago State University.

The Informant247 recalls on Friday that the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, admitted in evidence a transcript in aid of admission into Chicago State University made by South West College in the name of Tinubu, who was identified as a female gender.

It was gathered that the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his party presented the document along with other documents proving the allegations in their joint petition to challenge Tinubu’s victory on February 25 presidential election.

Meanwhile, in his reaction, Omokri, a staunch ally of Atiku, cautioned the PDP, saying Tinubu should not be attacked based on lies because God will lift him above his attackers, stressing that the president graduated with honours from the Chicago State University.

Omokri, via his official Twitter account, said, “I worked for Waziri Atiku Abubakar to win. I pray he unseats Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Court. And I am not pursuing any political appointment or job offer from Tinubu.

“However, it is false to assert that Bola Tinubu did not attend Chicago State University. I went there physically. I did a video broadcast from their campus. I met their officials. Tinubu attended and graduated from Chicago State University with honours, and they even have a photo of him in their alumni office as one of their most accomplished alumni.

“Not only did I go there physically to expose Tinubu (only to find out that he attended), I also asked their registry to put what they told me in writing.

“Attached is the letter they gave me. You can also go there physically, as I did, or email or phone them if you doubt this letter given to me.

“The man is no saint. His past cartel links indelibly taint him. But let us be fair, honest and transparent as we oppose him. If we attack Tinubu based on lies, God will just disappoint us further and appoint him greater.”
