Atiku's Camp Questions Tinubu's Graduation Claims
The ADC Presidential Campaign Council, led by Director of Strategic Communication Phrank Shaibu, questioned Vice President Kashim Shettima regarding President Tinubu's graduation from Government College Lagos in 1970, despite the school being established in 1974. This inquiry arose following Shettima's remarks about Atiku Abubakar's educational qualifications and his proposal to restore the petrol subsidy.
Shaibu criticized Shettima for focusing on Atiku's education rather than addressing the economic challenges faced by Nigerians, such as rising fuel and food prices. He emphasized that millions of Nigerians have similar educational journeys and that Shettima should clarify the discrepancy in Tinubu's academic records, which list him as a 1970 graduate of a school that did not exist at that time.
The controversy was fueled by documents from Chicago State University released in 2023, which referenced Government College Lagos in relation to Tinubu's education.
