Eko Hot Blog reports that Temitope Ajayi, the senior special assistant to President Bola Tinubu on media, has commented on the humiliation faced by his principal amid the academic record controversy. He emphasized that this issue should not be compared to whether or not President Tinubu graduated from Chicago State University in the U.S.

Chicago State University had released Tinubu’s academic records in response to requests from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Ajayi, using the microblogging platform formerly known as X, expressed his views, stating that Atiku Abubakar of the PDP displayed behavior akin to biting the hand that once fed him, all in his pursuit of earthly power.

“For me, the issue is not whether President Tinubu graduated from Chicago State University or not,” Ajayi wrote. “It is the fact that former Vice President Atiku is not a decent man.”

Ajayi continued, saying that nobody should subject their friend to the level of assault and indignity that Atiku had subjected President Tinubu to, solely because of a quest for power.

The presidential aide recalled instances where Tinubu had reportedly gone to great lengths to help Atiku in the past, including providing shelter when Atiku faced adversity during his political career.
