Patrick Doyle Blasts “Obsessive” Attacks on Tinubu’s Educational Credentials

Veteran actor Patrick Doyle has criticised the recurring controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s educational credentials, describing the continued focus on the issue during election periods as excessive.

In a social media post, Doyle argued that questions surrounding Tinubu’s credentials had repeatedly been raised during previous elections without preventing him from winning.

“The obsession with Asiwaju’s educational credentials every election cycle is bordering on the psychotic, if you ask me,” he wrote.

According to the actor, Tinubu has successfully contested and won elections multiple times despite the recurring controversy over the credentials he submitted.

Doyle questioned why critics continue to pursue what he described as a strategy that has repeatedly failed to alter electoral outcomes, including challenges that reached the Supreme Court.

“Yet, on this 5th and final occasion that he has to contest an election, some overly optimistic pessimists believe that a ploy that has been repeatedly attempted and which so far has failed, even as far as up to the Supreme Court, will now suddenly resonate and work,” he said.

He concluded by comparing the repeated attempts to challenge Tinubu’s credentials to the commonly cited definition of insanity.

“If that is not the classical definition of insanity, I wonder what else is,” Doyle added.
