Abati Challenges Ex-Lecturer: How Does Teaching English Qualify Tinubu to Oversee Accounting?

Arise Television anchor and veteran journalist, Reuben Abati, has questioned the claim by Dr. Pearse Adetokumbo, a former Chicago State University lecturer, that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not attend the institution.

Reacting to Adetokumbo’s claim on Monday during Arise TV’s Morning Show, Abati faulted the allegation.

He further claimed that Tinubu’s certificate saga could end up at the International Criminal Court, ICC.

Reacting, Abati questioned how Dr Adetokumbo, who retired as a lecturer in Linguistics and Literature, could have supervised Accounting, the department from which Tinubu graduated at Chicago State University.

According to him, spending five years as a lecturer does not automatically make Adetokumbo a repository of graduates’ records.

Abati added that it was unfortunate that Adetokumbo did not understand the jurisdiction of the ICC.

“How does teaching English and Literature for five years at Chicago State University mean being a supervisor in Accounting?” he stated.
