As political machinations continue and questions are asked about Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s academic credentials, someone dug up throwback pictures of Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo stating his school and the year he was there.
This comes 3 days after news emerged that Tinubu swore an affidavit that his school certificates were stolen by unknown persons during the military rule in 1990.
The former governor of Lagos State stated this in the affidavit he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as part of his eligibility filings for the 2023 presidential elections.
