Fresh controversy has erupted over Tinubu’s academic history following a viral video where he introduced a Russian national, Alexander Lutsenko, as his former schoolmate at Chicago State University (CSU).
In a video posted online on Monday by pro-Tinubu and APC commentator Imran Muhammad, the Nigerian leader appeared alongside Lutsenko, identifying him as a neighbour and schoolmate from their university days in Chicago.

But hours later, a post by X user Tosin Olugbenga challenged the credibility of Tinubu’s claim. Citing verifiable data, he pointed out that “Alexander Lutsenko is a Russian Citizen, a billionaire and is 63 years old. He was born in 1962. Tinubu claimed to have attended Chicago State University (CSU) in 1976. Alexander was 13 years old at the time Tinubu ‘gained’ admission into CSU. Go and Verify.”

The post ignited another round of scrutiny into Tinubu’s long-disputed academic credentials, which have remained a topic of public debate since his emergence in Nigerian politics.

Social media users were quick to weigh in. @FrancisoBrainy accused the administration of engaging in falsehood, stating, “They just lie blatantly without proper background checks cos they think Nigerians are stupid. The guy too is laughing like ode knowing that his account has been fattened.”

@enugu_updates added, “Normally, Alex came to cash out. But why would a whole President stoop so low to try and make a point. Now the truth is coming out.” @eromsidem, another respondent, claimed, “Alexander Lutsenko studied at the Political College of Arms in Minsk,” casting further doubt on any supposed CSU affiliation.

Another user, @AdekuleOderind, offered a more sarcastic take: “It will be very interesting to have Mr Alex visit @ARISEtv Arise TV tomorrow to share his first hand experience while he was studying in USA with President Tinubu. He will definitely have stories to share and pictures to show the world with his friend President Tinubu.”

The controversy adds to ongoing credibility issues surrounding Tinubu’s personal history, particularly his education, which came under renewed global attention after court-ordered disclosures from Chicago State University last year.

Interesting! If someone can graduate from a school 4 years before it was established, then every other thing is possible.

Tinubu is a chronic liar and a fogger.. Nigeria deserves better

Tinubu and controversy are like 5&6.

Remi Tinubu met Lukashenko in July 2024

Bola Tinubu introduces Belarusian Alex Zingman, allegedly an arms dealer, as his classmate in 2025

Do the math.

Nawa o interesting something,Naptu2 can you help u factcheck this story.

That guy might be a junior staff at Chagoury and Chagoury 419 Limited...

Tinubu will know the meaning of GenZ generation. Every lies will be unraveled, it will be Nigerians vs Apc in 2027. We don too chop shit

Obidients no just get small sense
Just look at the way they jumped on it because it's negative news about some they hate.

Tinubu is worst packaged fraud.


Very very poor job in packaging him.


Tinubu has no interest in Truth, honesty and integrity

The only people that are beneficiaries believed Tinubu went to Chicago State University. Why is he afraid to allow FBI.

Tinubu history is shattered and tainted with falsehoods and dubiousness..


The funny thing here is that his followers were the ones who are always keen at digging up people's history for blackmail and propaganda up till 2015.

Now they are the ones crying wolf and protesting against people prying into Tinubu's past life.

Negative news indeed! You must defend this thief called Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

This is embarrassing to say the least.

Was it even necessary to say the man was his school mate?

Usually this is the problem with lying. You lose track of the lies you've been telling.

There was a country indeed!!!

I can see how sensible you are. A man in his 80's is blatantly lieing and insulting your sensibilities, in your prime and you are gleefully smiling ☺

Common bro, not everything is Obedient. Even APc guys aren't supporting this. It's not everything that's hate. Can't you see the truth and say it for once? Nawa o.

The bitterness and sadness in some of this opposition is actually worrisome.

How can some people just decided to be sad and bitter about others for no sensible reason?

Make una get a meaningful life devoid of doing this

Look into the mirror and see who this your post is meant for. You are joyfully defending lies and yet call people out?

Which mirror. It's you people that should look into the mirrow and see how you look like with your boring and irritating attitude

Let's make this fun. Let's introduce the stories to each other.

Once upon a time some people went in search of Bola Tinubu and they presented all kinds of people (both real and fake) as "female Bola Tinubu" .

Now, all kinds of people have gone in search of Alexander. These people do not know that there is a difference between Russia and Belarus and they've come up with all kinds of Alexanders (with different surnames and looks) as the real Alexander.

Here is another Alexander:

The many Bola Tinubus

There was a desperate search for a female Bola Tinubu.

Picture 1) At first the searchers used their old tricks (fake news, propaganda and trickery). They presented this woman as Adenike Tinubu.

Picture 2) This was easily busted as it turns out that the woman's name is actually Dr Nika Nakia.

Picture 3) So now they knew that they could not lie, so they looked for a real Mrs Bola Tinubu and they found one. See here: https://www.dlapiperafrica.com/en/nigeria/people/partners/bola-tinubu.html

But Dr Mrs Bola Tinubu is the wife of Wale Tinubu, Bola Tinubu's nephew.

Boss, we are dealing with some people that are sick upstairs. Their reasonings are warp

Nothing about Tinubu is clear. This man na spirit. He is invisible. Even my Secondary School that he claimed that he went, it was established after Tinubu’s graduation.
