BREAKING: Atiku Makes Another Strong Move Against Tinubu, Heads To Another Powerful Court With President’s Chicago State University Academic Records (DETAILS)

In the 2023 presidential elections, Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), submitted fresh documents against President Bola Tinubu to the Supreme Court.

Atiku alleges forgery and perjury on the part of the President, and contends that he should, therefore, be disqualified and ousted from office.

According to sources, the evidence presented by Atiku consists of Tinubu’s academic records, which were provided to him by the Chicago State University last Monday. This action followed a court order in the United States, instructing the university to release the academic records at Atiku’s request. This information was reported to THISDAY last night.

“We have filed the fresh evidence. Tinubu’s academic records have been submitted to the apex court. You can approach the Supreme Court for a copy of the process,” one of Atiku’s lawyers told THISDAY last night.

A media to Atiku, Paul Ibe, said: “Our lawyers will file the new evidence today (Friday) to complement the grounds of appeal filed earlier. I am yet to get any briefing from the legal team, but fresh evidence will be filed on or before 12 midnight of today (Friday), which is the deadline.

“The extra evidence or the new evidence, which has to do with the certificate that Tinubu submitted to INEC, based on the petition, the discovery and deposition, which is what we have been waiting for, will help. And that is not the only ground; the initial filing we made to the Supreme Court was on 35 grounds. The Chicago evidence is just extra evidence in support of the application.”

Atiku had requested the documents for use in the Supreme Courts to support his argument that Tinubu forged a certificate he claimed to have obtained from the Chicago University in 1979 and submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2023 presidential election.

Apart from initiating an election petition appeal at the Supreme Court to contest the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal that affirmed Tinubu’s win, the PDP’s candidate also pursued President Tinubu’s educational records from Chicago State University as evidence to support his claim of forgery against the former Lagos State governor.

On September 19, Magistrate Jeffrey Gilbert granted Atiku’s request for the release of Tinubu’s academic records. The President contested this decision, arguing that the documents were not pertinent to Atiku’s appeal at the Supreme Court. However, federal judge Nancy Maldonado overruled this objection and directed the CSU to disclose the President’s academic records.

At a press briefing on Thursday, Atiku clarified the rationale behind his request for Tinubu’s CSU records., “We undertook this journey at great cost and for important reasons. The ground rules for legitimate governance in our country need to be upheld, and the reputation of our country is at stake. That affects everyone, Nigerians everywhere.’’

He added, “I am a democrat by conviction and a citizen of a country that I love. The issues at stake in this case require us once more to re-dedicate ourselves to both the country and our constitution.

“Also, the qualifying certificates from Southwest College to Chicago bear a female indicating that the document does not belong to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“The CSU admission has a claim that Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended government college, Lagos, and graduated in 1970 when indeed, the school was established in 1974. We were told by the CSU Registrar that the A in CSU stands for Adekunle, but the A in the certificate submitted by Bola Tinubu to INEC has the NYSC certificate as Adekunle,’’ he further claimed.
