Another Tinubu’s Chicago Varsity Classmate Testifies in US Court

The ongoing legal tussle between President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over his Chicago State University academic records has taken a new twist after a self-acclaimed classmate of President Tinubus, Olajide Adeniji, swore to an oath that he knew him.

Adeniji testified in a United States district court that he knows and contested against Tinubu as President of the Accounting Society Club at the Department of Business Admin/Accounting in the same alma mater.

The development is coming two weeks after a public affairs analyst, Durojaiye Ogunsanya, also claimed to be a coursemate to the Nigerian president.

Ogunsanya, who was featured on TVC’s breakfast show ‘This Morning,’ testified that they both graduated from the Department of Accounting and Business Administration in 1979 at the same university.

In the oath taken on September 23 at the Northern District of Illinois Court in Chicago, Adeniji swore to an affidavit that he was familiar with the same Tinubu who is the current president of Nigeria.

He swore that he also ran in a closely-contested race against President Bola Tinubu for the Leadership of Accounting Society Club of the Department of Business Administration/Accounting.

He also affirmed that he recognized and knows the person who I attended Chicago State University with, Bola A. Tinubu, is the same person who is now the President of Nigeria.

He therefore declared under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

You will recall that Atiku had secured an application for CSU to make the president’s academic records available to his legal team.
