A former gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Babatunde Gbadamosi, has said that Tinubu was not among the first set who graduated from Government College, Lagos, in 1979.
Recall that there have been inquiries regarding Tinubu’s attendance at the school, claiming he enrolled in 1970 while the institution was actually founded in 1974, which contradicts the assertion that Tinubu graduated from the institution in 1970.
Gbadamosi further stated that he was a mate with the late Jide Tinubu at the school, but it is almost impossible for him to be four years junior to Tinubu’s father.

Gbadamosi wrote, “I attended GCL from 1978 to 1981. My aunt was the Vice Principal for at least one of those years. I can confirm that I witnessed the graduation of the first set in 1979.
“Bola Ahmed Tinubu was definitely not among them.
“By pure coincidence, the late Jide Tinubu was my classmate at Lagos State School of Basic Studies, Agidingbi, Ikeja, opposite Cadbury.
“I could not possibly have been just 4 years the junior of his father in secondary school, could I?”
