Today’s Headlines:Tinubu Never Attended Chicago University-Doherty;Trump Admits Deportation Too Tough

Former Chicago State University lecturer Adedeji Doherty has accused President Bola Tinubu of falsely presenting himself as a former student of the American institution, insisting that the Nigerian leader never attended the university.

Doherty also accused the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, of misleading the public by defending claims that Tinubu studied at Chicago State University.

The allegations have reignited controversy surrounding Tinubu’s academic background, an issue that attracted significant attention during the 2023 presidential election and subsequent legal disputes over his educational qualifications.

Speaking during an interview on News Central TV, Doherty disclosed that he worked at Chicago State University between 1985 and 1990.

United States President Donald Trump said that his mass deportation of undocumented immigrants was “too tough,” according to an excerpt of an interview with CBS aired on Sunday.

He stated that the policy ultimately “hurt” him and also blamed Republicans’ midterm losses in part on “bad messaging.”

Asked about his deportation policy, Trump told CBS’ “60 Minutes”: “I think it was too tough…I think it might be too tough.”

The excerpt was published by CBS on X ahead of a broadcast of the interview on network TV later Sunday.

It was recorded after the Republican Party’s heavy loss in midterm elections on Tuesday.

While Trump has won some domestic support for securing the US southern border, his administration’s aggressive push to deport millions of undocumented migrants has drawn widespread criticism.
