How Will Tinubu React To This? – See What Former Minister Said On Live TV About Posting His Certificate To Mock Tinubu
Former Minister of Sports and Youth, Solomon Dalung, shared insights on Tuesday regarding his decision to publicize his academic credentials on social media.
Many perceived this move as a subtle reference to the controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s educational records.
Atiku Abubakar had taken legal action against the President in a US court, alleging that Tinubu had falsified his Chicago State University (CSU) certificate, which was submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) prior to the presidential election on February 25.

Dalung chose to unveil his 1990 West African Education Council (WAEC) certificate, Certificate of Call to the Bar, as well as his Bachelor of Law and Master of Laws certificates, both obtained from the University of Jos, on X platform this past Saturday.
During a live appearance on Channels Television’s morning program, “Sunrise Daily,” the former minister explained the motive behind his social media post. When asked about the rationale, he stated:
“I voluntarily made my credentials available for public scrutiny. The reason behind this decision stems from the ongoing intense international and national brouhaha surrounding the issue of academic credentials in Nigeria.
“The President of Nigeria and his political allies are going from one court to another in America and Nigeria regarding their credentials. Now, what is going on has made everyone in Nigeria who owns a certificate a suspect.”
“I have also put my certificate out publicly. If anyone is not satisfied, they can also go to court to compel the University of Jos to release my transcript.”
The lawyer emphasized his respect for Tinubu and clarified that he wasn’t intending to mock him regarding the certificate matter. However, he expressed his belief that the President’s team not only mishandled the situation but inadvertently made it worse.
“I have a lot of respect for the President. I don’t envy him with whatever he is going through with this certificate thing. I think it is being mismanaged by his handlers. Those who are creating more problems of this issue are his handlers,” he said.
“The more they talk, the more they introduce new issues that people capitalise on to add more burden on the President. This affects the President directly.”
