An alleged former Chicago State University lecturer, Dr Adetokunbo Pearse, has made fresh claims about President Bola Tinubu’s educational background.

Pearse claimed that Tinubu never attended the American university, contradicting claims about the president’s educational history.
He made the allegation while criticising the federal government and reacting to comments by the Minister of Education, whom he accused of making false statements about Tinubu’s academic record.
Pearse speaks about Tinubu’s Chicago State University record
In a video circulating online, Pearse said he was confident that Tinubu did not attend Chicago State University.
The former lecturer explained that he worked at the institution for five years and served as the director of the programme Tinubu reportedly claimed to have attended between 1985 and 1990.
He said:
“I say it with all confidence. Tinubu didn’t attend Chicago State University. I know that… The Education Minister said he was there. The Education Minister works for the President. The Education Minister is lying, just as the President himself is a bonafide professional liar.
“I used to be a lecturer at Chicago State University. For five years I was the director of the programme in which Tinubu claimed to have attended. That’s was between 1985 to 1990. I can tell you he never attended Chicago State University. The man has no integrity.”
Former lecturer criticises Tinubu’s administration
Beyond the president’s educational background, Pearse also criticised the performance of the Tinubu administration, citing rising poverty, unemployment and insecurity.
He maintained that Nigerians were dissatisfied with the current situation and warned political leaders against assuming that voters would continue to support them.
Pearse added:
“All these governors, whatever they want to do, let them do it. It will be them against we the people. The people are not going to vote for rubbish. They have had enough. Poverty is on the rise. Unemployment is on the rise. Insecurity is on the rise. Everything has failed because of this administration.
“If he’s a genius, he’s a genius at rigging elections…”
His comments have added to the ongoing political debate surrounding Tinubu’s academic qualifications and the performance of his administration.

“Tinubu is a professional bonafide liar. I lectured at Chicago State University for five years, and during that period, he claimed he attended the institution. I was the director of the very programme he claimed to have attended.”
