Prof Chidi Odinkalu, who once headed Nigeria's Human Rights Commission, has made a startling claim about President Bola Tinubu that he's the only Nigerian president in history without former classmates.

Odinkalu says Tinubu remains shrouded in mystery because his educational past can't be verified.

When Tinubu ran for president, he didn't provide details about the primary or secondary schools he attended on his forms submitted to the electoral commission.

Odinkalu went further, questioning Tinubu's origins entirely.

He pointed out that Tinubu held a Guinea passport when he ran for office, which would legally disqualify him from the presidency if the law were properly applied.

He described the situation as unusual and troubling, noting that unlike every other Nigerian president, no one can point to schools Tinubu attended or people who went to school with him.

Odinkalu highlighted that for every other leader from Tafawa Balewa to Azikiwe to Obasanjo to Buhari their educational journeys are documented and known.

When Buhari became president, his former schoolmates from Daura even came to celebrate with him.

But Tinubu stands alone in this regard, Odinkalu said.

He emphasized that this gap in Tinubu's history goes beyond past drug-related allegations.

It's part of a larger puzzle surrounding a man now holding the presidency one that raises fundamental questions about who he really is and where he's from.
