As Nigerians continue to inundate the Chicago State University with call-outs and inquiries regarding the degree certificate of president Bola Tinubu, the institution has locked its Twitter aka X account.
The school locked the account on Monday while many observed that the yearbook for 1979 when the president graduated has also allegedly disappeared from the website.
A notification telling the general public that the institution had locked its X handle from the general public reads: “These posts are protected. Only confirmed followers have access to @ChicagoState’s posts and complete profile. Tap the ‘Follow’ button to send a follow request.”
The Gazette could not verify why the institution allowed only its confirmed followers access to its timeline while restricting the general public from its content.
There is also news that there was indeed a graduate of Chicago State University but it was a female named Gloria B Tinubu.
The year book for 1979 when the president graduated also allegedly went missing soon after.
Having restricted comments on its X account, Nigerians have stormed the Linkedin account seeking clarifications.
Chicago State University has yet to respond to the Peoples Gazette’s request seeking comments on the development, coming amid heated debates among Nigerians on Mr Tinubu’s academic records, with many calling out the institution on X.
Earlier in August, Mr Abubakar requested court approval to subpoena Mr Tinubu’s files domiciled with CSU because he believed the documents would clarify glaring inconsistencies in the president’s background, including publicly available documents that suggested the institution, in the 1970s admitted a female student bearing Bola Tinubu born on March 29, 1954.
In pushback against Mr Abubakar’s legal move, which could expose his academic record, Mr Tinubu also filed a motion to prevent a federal court in the United States from releasing his academic records to his principal opponent in the 2023 presidential election.
The institution had claimed that a clerk was responsible for irregularities that characterised a certificate the school reprinted in Mr Tinubu’s name, according to court filings seen by The Gazette.
Amid the legal tussle in the U.S., Mr Abubakar on Sunday mocked Mr Tinubu, asking him to reveal how he obtained a degree from Chicago University without attending primary and secondary school.
Mr Atiku’s tweet sparked widespread reactions seeing the “AskTinubu” trend of X microblogging app on Sunday as Nigerians discuss Mr Tinubu’s academic records.
