The chief of staff was also said to have assured that plans are concluded with the Supreme Court judges to strike out all appeals filed against Tinubu’s election.
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi filed a appeal at the Supreme Court following the verdict of Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) which upheld Tinubu’s controversial election.
Atiku is however asking a court in the United States to compel the Chicago State University to release the academic records of Tinubu, citing discrepancies bordering on perjury.
Tinubu’s lawyers have opposed the release of document, arguing that it would do irreparable harm to their client. The release of the academic record is expected to be provided at the Supreme Court upon release.
But a source told Pointblanknews that “The cabal in Presidency led by Femi Gbajabiamila resolved that no amount of conviction by USA Court, witch-hunt and desperation by AA can stop BAT from completing the four year tenure he just started.
“Accordingly, Gbajabiamila assured them that the APC led administration had concluded all their plans with Supreme Court judges to strike out all the appeals concerning Presidential elections.”
Tinubu’s Senior Special Assistant on Political Matters, Ibrahim Masari, was also said to have told some insiders that the “Nigerian Supreme Court has never nullified a Presidential election and it can not start with Tinubu through the Supreme Court he composed himself.”
Meanwhile, the president, who has been in France since he left the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meeting on September 21, has been trying to use foreign collaborators to quench the inquiry into his academic records.
He was also said to have undergone medical treatment in Paris, a city he has become accustomed to in the recent times.
The source said, “President Tinubu is currently in France after undergoing some medication and some series of meetings suspected not to be unconnected to his desperation to block access to his school records using international collaborators as already reported and is tipped to return back to Nigeria tomorrow or before an Army event in Kaduna scheduled for next week.”
Also, as part of his bid to consolidate hold on power, it was learnt that the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, would destroy PDP and frustrate the party’s Presidential Candidate and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 election.
Wike, while still a PDP member is serving as minister in Tinubu’s government as reward for his anti-PDP activities during the last election.
There are also renewed plans to engage media, traditional and religious leaders in a blackmail campaign against Atiku.
“The APC leadership will soon be meeting on how to sustain division in opposition parties as Wike guaranteed them of destroying PDP beyond redemption through some powerful state governors in the party if Atiku Abubakar will still contest the 2027 presidential election.
“Ganduje is currently in Yenegoa, Bayelsa state to meet with election stakeholders including security agencies and INEC officials, and to charge them to ensure they deliver APC in November Gubernatorial contests.
“There are renewed plans to engage media, traditional and religious leaders in a blackmail campaign against Atiku Abubakar using some scholars who charged Muslims against electing Atiku Abubakar including late Jafar Mahmud Adam, this according to them will make the job easy for Izala faction for easy reference and funds were earmarked for Dariqa counterpart for similarly purpose.”
The source further revealed that the Tinubu assured the director general of Department of State Services, Yusuf Bichi of a non career ambassadorial posting after his tenure over the role he played in helping him emerge president.
“This is to appreciate his contribution in bringing BAT to power after being considered the only service chief that worked for the APC Presidential candidate during the 2023 general elections,” the source said.
