BREAKING: List Of Documents Atiku Wants From Chicago State University Concerning Tinubu

Azvcb

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois has approved the request made by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, for the disclosure of President Bola Tinubu’s academic records from Chicago State University.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert issued the ruling on Tuesday, directing CSU to furnish “all relevant and non-privileged documents” to Abubakar Atiku, the plaintiff, within two days.

The judge stated, “This matter is before the Court on Atiku Abubakar’s Application Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1782 for an Order Directing Discovery from Chicago State University for Use in a Foreign Proceeding (“Application”) [ECF No. 1]. For the reasons discussed below, the Application is granted.”

Tinubu’s legal team argued against lifting their client’s privacy privilege, and the ruling acknowledged this by specifying “non-privileged documents”.

Atiku approached the court seeking an order to compel the university to release Tinubu’s academic records.

While Tinubu’s official records state that he graduated in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, there have been allegations of discrepancies in the President’s certificate.

In his petition, Atiku Abubakar wants the following documents:

  • An example of a CSU diploma issued in 1979.
  • Tinubu’s diploma issued in 1979
  • Any example of a CSU diploma that “contains the same font, seal, signatures and wording” as Tinubu’s diploma issued in June 1979.
  • CSU documents certified and produced by Jamar Orr, an associate general counsel at CSU at the time.

Abubakar also wants his lawyers to depose CSU officials about the authenticity of Tinumbu’s academic documents.

They also want CSU officials to explain a letter from university Registrar Caleb Westberg confirming Tinumbu’s graduation.
