Tinubu Tenders Academic Records, Sensitive Documents To Defend His Victory

Tinubu has tendered academic records and other sensitive documents to defend his victory.

News ToGo reports that Tinubu is defending his victory at the 2023 presidential election. The electoral umpire had declared him winner of the poll. However, opposition parties and their candidates are challenging his emergence in court.

During the court session, Tinubu tendered his educational records from the Chicago State University to the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC). This was part of his defense against the petition filed by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Tinubu’s legal representative, tendered copies of these documents during the court proceedings. Additionally, a 2007 letter from the United States Embassy in Nigeria, which cleared Tinubu of any criminal charges in the US, was tendered.

The Counsel also presented the letter of request from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to the US Embassy. Tinubu’s academic records from Chicago State University comprised 12 certified documents. They were approved on June 28, 2023, by Jamar C. Orr, the Associate General Counsel at the Office of Legal Affairs at Chicago State University.

The legal team of Tinubu further presented six documents related to his immigration and visa records, documenting his trips to the United States between 2011 and 2021.

Hearing is still ongoing. Recall that Tinubu opened his defense following the conclusion of presentations by the plaintiffs.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
