US Court Must Overrule Tinubu’s Objection To Having His Academic Record Released – Atiku

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has filed a fresh motion urging the United States Court to overrule President Bola Tinubu’s request to stop Chicago State University from releasing his (Tinubu’s) academic record.

Atiku’s counsel, Angela Liu recently had her say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, if the court overrules the objections, Atiku urges America to order Tinubu to send his academic record to Nigeria with immediate effect.

She added that the evidence is needed to be filed with the Supreme Court by October 5, which is when applicant’s Nigerian counsel intend to submit any new evidence to the apex Court.

His words, “If the court overrules the objections, the applicant respectfully requests that it enter an order requiring production of documents no later than October 2, 2023, and the deposition scheduled no later than October 3, to allow time for transcripts to be finalised, and the discovery obtained to be sent to Nigeria (which is six hours ahead) by October 4, so that such evidence may, in turn, be filed with the Supreme Court by October 5, which is when applicant’s Nigerian counsel intend to submit any new evidence to the Supreme Court.”

“If, as the intervenor asserts, he graduated from CSU in 1979 and the CSU documents are authentic copies issued, there is no reason why he should oppose the limited discovery the applicant seeks.”
