Omokri stated that Chicago State University had confirmed Tinubu’s academic records in an affidavit dated August 23, 2023, upholding his status as a former student and graduate of the university. He also mentioned that The Vanguard newspaper, the source cited by Oseni, never reported the information attributed to it.
