The United States chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a caution to prominent opposition parties and critics of the current administration to exercise prudence when discussing the controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University academic certificate, to avoid potential court contempt.

This advisory follows a recent directive from Justice John Okoro, Chairman of the Supreme Court panel overseeing the appeals related to Tinubu’s election.

Okoro urged Atiku Abubakar, the standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, to substantiate his allegation of certificate forgery against the former Lagos State governor with substantial evidence.

During the proceedings of the election petition appeals filed by Atiku and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, the former vice-president accused Tinubu of altering the CSU diploma in Business Administration that he presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

In response, Prof. Tai Balofin, Chairman of APC USA, denounced Atiku’s alleged ongoing pursuit of the certificate issue, deeming it inappropriate, especially since CSU has already verified its authenticity. Balofin called on the opposition to approach matters with a greater sense of maturity in their advocacy for democratic ideals. Additionally, he cautioned that subjecting the president’s academic record to public scrutiny could be perceived as contempt of court.

He said, “We have convened today to discuss the most recent developments concerning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s academic background and the allegations that have found resonance within the public domain. We intend to elucidate the circumstances surrounding these allegations and to implore adherence to the rule of law. We fervently advocate for unity and the preservation of our nation’s dignity.

“Therefore, we pray opposition groups to exhibit respect for the judicial system and refrain from actions that may needlessly tarnish both our great nation and the reputation of President Tinubu.

“We unequivocally assert that following a meticulous examination, the APC USA and the Committee of Diaspora have yet to unearth any substantive evidence to suggest that President Tinubu’s diploma, as tendered to the Independent National Electoral Commission, is a fraudulent document. This consequential and encouraging outcome should assuage any lingering apprehensions regarding the President’s academic background.

“We fervently implore opposition factions and all political stakeholders to uphold the legal process’s tenets and refrain from actions that may precipitate ignominy upon our nation. The opposition must exhibit a modicum of maturity and demonstrate commitment to the democratic ideals that underpin our nation’s fabric. We must remain mindful of the paramount importance of collaboration and cohesiveness in fostering the advancement and prosperity of our great nation.”
