President Bola Tinubu
Chicago State University (CSU) in United States has locked its official account on X, formerly known as Twitter, after some Nigerians allegedly stormed the page to inquire about President Bola Tinubu’s graduation from the university.
A check on the university’s Twitter account which was earlier public on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, showed it has now been put on private.
A message on the CSU’s page read: “These posts are protected. Only confirmed followers have access to @ChicagoState’s posts and complete profiles. Tap the ‘Follow’ button to send a follow request.”
The latest development is coming amidst a petition filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, in a U.S. court to obtain information about Tinubu’s academic records at the Chicago State University.
Tinubu’s credentials show that he graduated from CSU in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, accounting and management, a certificate which has since been eliciting allegations.

It would be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on March 1, 2023, announced that Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) won the presidential election ahead of 17 other candidates that participated in the election.
INEC declared that Tinubu scored 8,794,726 votes to defeat the two major contenders – Atiku, who came second with 6,984,520 votes, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), who came third with 6,101,533 votes.
However, dissatisfied with the outcome of the election, both Atiku and Obi approached the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja to invalidate it.
The duo, in their separate petitions, claimed that they won the presidential poll, as they challenged Tinubu’s eligibility to contest the election.
The petitioners prayed the court to nullify the election and order a fresh presidential election, with the exclusion of President Tinubu whom they argued was ab-initio, not qualified to participate.
The court has however yet to deliver judgement.
