President Tinubu's educational credentials have been a subject of intense scrutiny, particularly among opposition parties eager to find any loopholes that could jeopardise his presidency.

Critics have questioned why the former Lagos State Governor couldn't identify any former classmates from his time at the institution, casting doubt on his attendance.

The controversy reached international proportions when former presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, filed a legal request in the United States seeking access to Tinubu's Chicago University records.

However, Ogunsanya, in an exclusive interview with TVC News, claimed that he and President Tinubu attended Chicago State University and graduated together in 1979.

During the interview, Ogunsanya stated, "We met in school at Chicago State University, where we were both enrolled in the College of Accounting Business and Administration, majoring in Accounting. We shared the same classes, and we graduated together in 1979."

He further clarified, "I'm here with my diploma as proof, for the world to see. We graduated from the university together, and I'm speaking out not for personal gain or favour but to set the record straight."

Ogunsanya said he was infuriated by Atiku's lawsuit in the U.S. even after Tinubu had assumed office, and accused the former vice-president of "looking for a backdoor way" to become the president.
