Tinubu Will Answer Questions on Academic Credentials, Says Former APC Legal Adviser, Babatunde Ogala
A former National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Babatunde Ogala, SAN, has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will personally respond to questions concerning his academic credentials.
Ogala made the remark while responding to questions from journalist Seun on the controversy surrounding the President’s educational background.
During the exchange, Seun questioned whether the President has evidence to establish that he attended primary and secondary school, asking pointedly whether he was homeschooled during those years.
Ogala, however, declined to provide a direct answer, instead saying that the President would respond to the questions when they are put to him.
The exchange has added fresh attention to the long-running public debate surrounding President Tinubu’s educational history and the documentation associated with his academic credentials.
Ogala’s response also leaves the questions surrounding the President’s early education open, with attention now turning to whether Tinubu himself will offer clarification and provide the relevant evidence when directly asked.
The issue of Tinubu’s academic credentials has remained a subject of public and political discussion, particularly amid scrutiny of documents and claims relating to his educational background.
While Ogala did not attempt to answer the specific questions raised by Seun, his statement suggests that the responsibility for addressing them ultimately rests with the President.
