A former presidential aide to former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and Publisher of Point Blank News, Mr. Jackson Ude, has lamented over what the Chicago State University could possibly be hiding in the matter involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Mr. Ude made the outcry after several efforts to get a positive response respecting the University’s 1979 yearbook which has evidently been removed or not uploaded online like others on their website.
It could further be noted that 1979 is the year that Tinubu purportedly graduated from the school.
Watch video below showing that the University’s yearbooks from 1971 to 1980 were intact except 1979:
What is @ChicagoState University hiding? Have they allowed themselves to be corrupted? Why has the 1979 yearbook been wiped from their website? pic.twitter.com/xdeFNvqO8c

Reacting on his Twitter handle, @jacksonpbn, Jackson Ude lamented that “Chicago State University cannot explain why 1979 yearbook is removed”.

He tweeted:
“Several calls I have placed to the Chicago State University @ChicagoState to ask why the 1979 yearbook has been removed or not uploaded online like others, have yielded no results. No one has an answer.
“Every school in the U.S from Secondary to University have yearbook that features pictures of graduating students. Bola Tinubu claimed he graduated from Chicago State University in 1979. Curiously, while other yearbooks for other years exist, that of 1979, has been removed or doesn’t exist.
“When I called the school to find out, they kept transferring me from one department to another until I was transferred where I was asked to leave a voice message.
“The last person I spoke with was one Ms. Barnes who transferred me to a number ending 2246.
“The first I spoke with, who works at the IT department, could not explain. Ms. Barnes, have no answer either.”
The educational status of Tinubu has been shrouded in mystery at the Chicago State University ever since Nigerians, including the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), approached a competent court seeking to obtain details of Tinubu’s academic details from the school.
