Reno Omokri, Nigeria's ambasssador in Mexico, has defended President Tinubu against new rumors questioning his school background.
The claims came up again on Sunday, when a former lecturer at Chicago State University, Dr Pearse Adetokumbo, said in an online interview that the president never studied there.
Adetokumbo, who worked at the university between 1985 and 1990, also said he found no proof that Tinubu graduated and accused him of using a false identity.
On Monday, Omokri responded on his official account.
He said he visited Chicago State University himself and confirmed that Tinubu was admitted, attended and graduated from the school.
He also urged Nigerian journalists to stop relying on studio gossip and to go to Chicago to check the facts for themselves.
