The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu yet again committed another political gaffe, assuring Nigerian tertiary students that they will spend eight years in school should he become President.
Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language at the Osun state presidential campaign rally held at Freedom Park, Osogbo on Thursday, said Nigerians students should call him a ‘bastard’ if they exceed ‘eight years’ in school.
He said: “For our children in University, go and write it down, call me bastard, if your days exceed eight years. You will only use eight years in school.”
Tinubu’s statement is against the current academic calendar of universities across the country which stipulates that a student can only use four years or at most five years to bag a bachelor’s degree or HND.
This is coming after several gaffes made by Tinubu as the presidential candidate is constantly in the news for making incoherent speeches.
It would be recalled that Tinubu, while praising Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, was heard commending the governor as a leader who has a vision of turning “rotten situation to a bad one.”
