JUST IN: Chicago State University Releases Tinubu’s Documents To Atiku

The Chicago State University (CSU) has released the academic records of President Bola Tinubu to Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the last elections as ordered by the US Court.

Recall the US district court for the northern district of Illinois had ordered the CSU to release the academic records of Tinubu following Atiku’s application.

The Atiku camp has now gotten the documents but are authenticating every hit of the information in order to verify it’s what was applied for.

Details are sketchy as of this moment but a member of the Atiku camp said the diploma certificate presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission, by Tinubu in aid of his credentials for the 2023 election was fake.

He also said “part of the academic records released by the Chicago State University, indicated that the “Bola Tinubu” who got admitted into that school, graduated from Government College, Lagos.”

According to him, “The academic record from SouthWest College he (Tinubu) used in gaining admission into CSU belongs to a lady,” Jackson Ude, who confirmed the release of the documents has said via his X account.

In obeying the court, CSU issued a statement on what it has released to Atiku on Monday.

Responding to Atiku’s “Request No. 1: A true and correct copy of any diploma for a Bachelor of Science degree issued by CSU in 1979,” the school responded that, “The documents responsive to this request which CSU, after diligent search, has been able to locate are produced herewith and Bates labelled CSU 0001 through CSU 0007.

“The students’ names on these diplomas have been redacted for privacy reasons.”

In Atiku’s request “No. 2: A true and correct copy of any diploma issued by CSU in 1979 to Mr. Tinubu,” the CSU responded that, “CSU does not in the ordinary course keep copies of student diplomas, and after diligent search cannot locate a copy of the original diploma it prepared for Mr. Tinubu in 1979, hence has no documents responsive to this request.”

Also, on the former Vice President’s request “No. 3: True and correct copies of any diplomas issued by CSU (other than to Mr. Tinubu) that contain the same font, seal, signatures, and wording (other than the name of the recipient and the specific degree awarded) as Contained in Exhibit C to the First Liu Declaration, which purports to be a CSU diploma issued to Mr. Tinubu on or about June 22, 1979,” CSU replied that, “The documents responsive to this request which CSU, after diligent search, has been able to locate are produced herewith and Bates labelled CSU 0008 through CSU 0010.

“The students’ names on these diplomas have been redacted for privacy reasons.

“CSU is also producing, Bates labelled as CSU 0011 and CSU 0012, diplomas prepared for other CSU students (with their names redacted for privacy) which match the format of the Tinubu replacement diploma dated June 27, 1997.”

Atiku’s request number four, “True and correct copies of any CSU documents relating to Mr. Tinubu that were certified by Jamar C. Or, Esq., including without limitation, the documents in Exhibit D to the Uwais Declaration, and all Communications to or from CSU concerning the certification of such documents by Jamar C. Orr, Esq., during the period August 1, 2022 to August 1, 2023,” received the school’s reply that, “The responsive documents certified by Mr. Orr are produced herewith and Bates labelled CSU 0013 through CSU 0032.”

Atiku said the documents are relevant in the pursuit of his electoral case at the supreme court but Tinubu said he does not see their relevance with his legal team arguing it’s statute barred.

The social media went over drive as soon as the documents were released even as key revelations emanating from the documents which the Atiku legal team said are important to his case are still being compiled.
