George Galloway renews attacks on president Tinubu
British commentator and former MP George Galloway has renewed public attacks on Nigerian president Bola Tinubu, mocking his disputed Chicago State University degree and questioning its spelling and authenticity. The dispute centers on a CSU certificate Tinubu submitted to Nigeria's electoral commission and a sworn deposition from CSU's registrar saying that the presented document did not match university records, even as CSU separately confirmed that a Bola Tinubu graduated in 1979. Nigeria's supreme court dismissed election appeals for procedural reasons and did not rule on the certificate's authenticity, leaving the core factual question unresolved.
The authenticity of Tinubu's CSU certificate remains legally unresolved.
