Abubakar too a swipe on Tinubu via his social media handles on Sunday querying the disparity in Tinubu's alleged claims of education qualification in 1999 and 2023.

How is that possible? Methinks that all well-meaning Nigerians should be as confused as I am with Tinubu's declaration that he had no primary and secondary education, yet he has a university degree. You may wish to #AskTinubu how he attained this feat so that we can learn from his ingenuity -AA
