How Atiku bagged Masters from Cambridge with diploma in law
The last time INEC checked, the highest qualification perennial presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar had was a diploma in law. Now he has stepped many steps higher.
Many didn’t know the former veepee was somewhere, immersed in his Masters programme after he lost his sixth attempt at the presidency in 2019.
“Many people have wondered where I have been since September last year and it became a matter of rumour among many people and all whatnot,” he said at the party BoT meeting August 26.
“I want to say that I was away because I went back to school and I have finished my lectures in May, where I read masters in international relations from Cambridge University.”
That was a feat. A national diploma holder snagging a Master from an Ivy League varsity doesn’t happen regularly.
And Atiku admitted it.
“I want to use this opportunity to thank our former President, Obasanjo for actually recommending me for that course to that university,” he said.
If the 2023 presidential ticket still falls in his lap, Atiku now has something preppy to flaunt with V.P. Yemi Osinbajo, Kingsley Mohgalu, and other brainboxes that might contest.
