Following the controversies surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s academic records from the Chicago State University (CSU), the minister of foreign affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, has said the administration cannot waste time on such “trivial matters”.
Tuggar, who stated this yesterday on Channels Television’s breakfast show, Sunrise Daily, said the controversy does not cast a shadow on some of the president’s recent international engagements.
The minister argued that a former president, Muhammadu Buhari, experienced a similar issue
He said, “There is a tendency to always try to distract people with such frivolous issues as opposed to facing the major issues of development. We don’t have time to waste on that
“Nobody is wasting time about certificate qualification for somebody who has been a governor of a state, served two terms, and has been on the national stage as a politician.
“You remember that (former) President Buhari had to go through the same thing, where people were actually questioning whether he went to secondary school or not. Someone who had classmates and was the captain? He was a head boy.”
