Though the 2023 Presidential election may have come and gone, but the outcome of the election has continued to generate mixed and controversial reactions. Meanwhile, the discussion is mostly centered around the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, most especially the winner of the presidential election, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
And one of those who have continued to talk about the election is popular Nigerian Socialite, Entertainer and Activist, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy. In one of his recent tweets, he urged people to allow the winner of the Presidential election to enjoy his victory following the issuance of certificate of return to him by INEC, while alleging that the certificate of return is the only certificate he has ever had.
Though this claims by Charly Boy may actually not be correct, because the President elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu according to the documents he submitted to INEC and as available on Wikipedia, graduated with Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Chicago State University, United States. When he returned to the country in the 80s, he worked with Mobil Nigeria as an accountant.

So, that’s why the claims by Charly Boy may not actually be correct, regardless of the fact that controversies have continued to trail Tinubu’s educational qualification, age, real name and state of origin. But be that as it may, a lot of documents and publications have equally revealed that the President elect graduated from the aforementioned alma mater.
