The PDP chieftain had earlier said he was convinced Tinubu attended the American university after investigating the claim that the former Lagos governor lied about graduating from the school.
He said he "believed the lie" that Tinubu did not attend the school and "wasted $4000 plus flying to Chicago to investigate in person!"

Jude Udoh, @TuShots, said:
"The next thing to do now is request the full name behind the Abbreviated letter "A". I think that will go a long way to solve the problem."
Engr. Kingsley, @_realkingsley, tweeted:
"How did Reno went from supporting Atiku to defending Tinubu, going all the way to Chicago State University just to snap with sign board. Seems Atiku did him dirty in US the other day. He is shameless sha."
Michael Zucci. , @MichaelOkwegba, said:
"Rufai and Reno are doing the Lord's work. If you feel Tinubu didn't attend Chicago State University, send an email or call the phone number to confirm. Over flogging a stale and dead issue is embarrassing. Alternatively, go to Chicago like Reno did. Stop being mischievous."
