His records are there for all to see. Chicago University has also written severally to say that this man is from us. Nothing has changed. There is no cause for alarm. It is an expedition in futility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In its reaction, the Presidency submitted that Tinubu\u2019s academic record would be of no value to the PDP Presidential candidate, noting that Atiku and his party were simply chasing shadows.<\/p>\n<p>A presidential aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity, premised this on the grounds that Atiku who emerged first-runner up in the Presidential election cannot present new evidence in court other than those he presented before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal which ruled in Tinubu\u2019s favour on September 6. \u2063<\/p>\n<p>The official said, \u201cAfter getting the President\u2019s records, how will that help Atiku\u2019s case? The university has not recanted its often-stated position that President Tinubu graduated in 1979 from the school. \u2063<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAtiku and PDP are chasing shadows. The President\u2019s academic records have no probable value to Atiku\u2019s case in court. At Supreme Court, you can\u2019t plead new evidence outside what you frontloaded at the court of first instance which is the Appeal Court that has decided on the Presidential election petition.\u2019\u2019\u2063<\/p>\n<p>Atiku had approached the US court for an order compelling the CSU to release Tinubu\u2019s academic records.<\/p>\n<p>He alleged that Tinubu\u2019s academic records were forged.<\/p>\n<p>Tinubu\u2019s credentials indicated that he graduated from CSU in 1979 with a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Business Administration, Accounting and Management, but there have been allegations bordering on discrepancies with his certificate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday ridiculed the efforts of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to obtain the academic records of President Bola Tinubu from Chicago&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":105536,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
