Amid the controversy and bickering surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s academic records, a public affairs analyst, Mr Durojaiye Ogunsanya, has claimed that he and the President graduated from the Chicago State University in 1979.

Ogunsanya, while speaking on TVC’s “This Morning” breakfast programme monitored by Persecondnews, maintained that he was in the same department, College of Accounting, Business and Administration, with the President.

Buttressing his claims that despite the funny “Nigerian accent” of Tinubu, he won the the Presidency of the Accounting Society Club in 1978/79, adding, “those are facts. Go and check it out.”

He said: “We met in school at Chicago State University (CSU) and we were in the same department college of accounting, business administration with a major in accounting.

“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.

“We were members of the accounting 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,” Ogunsanya said.
