APC kingpin, Bola Tinubu, claimed he attended St. Paul’s School, Aroloya, Lagos; but the school never existed. He claimed to have attended Government College Ibadan (GCI) between 1965 and 1968. I was in GCI from 1962-1968, and Tinubu was not there. The Old Boys Association of GCI also debunked Tinubu’s claims.
Tinubu also claimed in his INEC form of 1999 that he attended Richard Daley College, Chicago between 1969 and 1971. There is no evidence of this. It is also not true that Tinubu attended the University of Chicago between 1972 and 1976.
The case filed in court by Dominic Adegbola against Tinubu for perjury on these counts was struck out, not because these allegations are not true, but because the judge ruled that Adegbola failed to satisfy the mandatory requirements of the law that such application must be filed before the court within three months when the alleged fraudulent act was detected.
Tinubu's lawyer who defended him on the basis of this technicality was Yemi Osibajo. He was rewarded with the Vice-Presidency of Nigeria.
