Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has asked President Bola Tinubu to explain to Nigerians and the world how he got into Chicago State University “without possessing primary and secondary education”.

The former Vice President said this on Sunday on his X (formerly Twitter) handle. Atiku is currently challenging the outcome of the election of Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election and the inconsistencies in his certificate from Chicago State University.

In his tweet on Sunday, Atiku sarcastically said that to enable him and other Nigerians to learn from Tinubu’s ingenuity, the President should explain how he attained the feat of becoming a graduate of a reputable foreign university without possessing primary and secondary education.

He wrote on X, "I woke up this morning wondering how we got to this cul de sac. In 1999, @officialABAT claimed he attended St. John's Primary School, Aroloya, Lagos, before proceeding to Children Home School in Ibadan.

"According to him, his next port of call in his educational journey was Government College Ibadan and Richard Daley College and Chicago State University in the United States. Curiously, in 2023, Tinubu settled with attending only @ChicagoState. I am scratching my head.

"How is that possible? Methinks that all well-meaning Nigerians should be as confused as I am with Tinubu’s declaration that he had no primary and secondary education, yet he has a university degree.

"You may wish to #AskTinubu how he attained this feat so that we can learn from his ingenuity."
