Atiku Finally Approaches Supreme Court, Files Fresh Evidence Against Tinubu’s Victory

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has finally filed fresh evidence at the Supreme Court of Nigeria against the qualifications of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the February 25, 2023 presidential election.

Atiku, a former Vice President, said in the fresh evidence that he is categorically and authoritatively asserting that the Diploma Certificate of the Chicago State University (CSU) used by Tinubu to secure qualifications for participation in the election is fake, having been allegedly forged.

In a motion on notice filed by his legal team headed by Chris Uche SAN, Atiku asked the Supreme Court to invoke its Order 2 Rule 12 of 1985 to admit the fresh evidence of certificate forgery and perjury in support of his pending appeal before the Court to do substantial justice to his case.

Atiku, in the motion, marked SC/CV/935/2023, prayed the Apex Court to grant him leave to produce the additional evidence and for the Court to receive the fresh evidence from him.

Respondents in the motion are the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC; Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, as 1st to 3rd respectively.

The motion is predicated on several grounds but mainly on the release of academic records of Tinubu, evidence of the Registrar of the Chicago State University before a United States of America Court and the deposition of the same witness in respect of the Diploma Certificate President Tinubu presented to INEC for the purpose of eligibility for the election.

Other grounds in the motion are that “The 2nd Respondent (Tinubu) was not qualified at the time of the election to contest the election as required by Section 137 (1) (j) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).

“Based on facts available to the Appellants/Applicants (Atiku) at the time of filing their Petition, the 1st Appellar Applicant (Atiku Abubakar,) through his United States of

American lawyers, Alexander de Cmmont and Argela M. Liu of the law firm of Dechert LLP o11900 K Street, NW, Washington DC 20006-1110, unsuccessfully applied to Chicago State University for the release of copies of the academic records of the 2nd Respondent.

“Given the strict privacy laws in the jurisdiction of Chicago State University, the request for the release of the academic records and certificate issued to the 2nd Respondent could not be granted without an order of court and for the purpose of use in pending court proceedings.

“The 1st Applicant through his said US-based Attomeys thereupon brought an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois -In rc: Application of Atiku Abubakar for an Order Directing Discovery from Chicago State University Case No. 23-CV-05099 for an order for the production of documents and testimony for use in a proceeding in a foreign court, seeking documents and testimony from Chicago State University concerning the authenticity and origin of documents purporting to be the educational records of the 2nd Respondent, Bola A. Tinubu.

“The 2nd Respondent (Tinubu) applied and was joined in the matter as an Intervenor, vehemently opposed rhe application.

“On September 19, 2023, the Court issued an order granting the application and

thereafter, the 2nd Respondent applied for an emergency stay of the Court Order, claiming that he would suffer irreparable damage and injury if his educational records were released: which order of stay was granted.

“On September 30, 2023, the Court overruled the 2nd Respondent’s objections and ordered Chicago State University to produce tbe documents on October 2, 2023, and to produce a witness for deposition on October 3, 2023.

“On October 2, 2023. Chicago State University produced the documents pursuant to the Court’s Order.

“On October 3, 2023, also pursuant to the Court’s Order, Chicago State University provided a witness to give deposition testimony, in which deposition, Chicago State University disclaimed ownership and

authorship of the document that the 2nd Respondent presented to INEC, purporting to be “Chicago State University certificate” and also disclaimed issuing any replacement certificate to him.

“The deposition was not in existence or available at the time of filing the petition.

“The deposition sought to be adduced is, along with its accompanying documents, such as would have important effect in the resolution of this appeal.

“The deposition is relevant to this matter, having confirmed that the certificate presented by the 2nd Respondent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did not emanate from Chicago State

University, and that whoever issued the certificate presented by the 2nd Respondent, did not have the authority of the Chicago State University, and that the 2nd Respondent never applied for any replacement certificate nor was he issued any replacement certificate by the Chicago State University.

“The deposition, which is on oath and deposed to in the presence of the 2nd Respondent’s Attorney, is credible and believable and ought to be believed.

“The deposition is clear and unambiguous, and no further evidence is needed to be adduced on it. The evidence is such that could not have been obtained without reasonable diligence for use at the trial, as the deposition required the commencement of the suit in the United States of America before receiving same. It is not possible to obtain the said evidence before the trial at the Court below.

“The deposition was made on October 03, 2Q23 after the conclusion of trial at the Court below, and was not available to be tendered at the trial.

“Presentation of a forged certificate to the lndependent National Electoral Commission by a candidate in an election to the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a weighty constitutional matter,

requiring consideration by the Courts as custodians of the Constitution.

“The original certified deposition has been forwarded to the Honourable Court by a letter addressed to the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court

“It is in the interest of justice for the Honourable Court to exercise its discretion in favour of the Appellants/Applicants.”

The motion was supported by several paragraph affidavit deposed to on behalf of Atiku and PDP by one Uyi Giwa-Osagie, a legal practitioner of Plot 120, Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja.

It read in part, “That the 1st Appellant/Applicant contested the election to the ofiice of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the platform of the 2nd Appellant/Applicant, which election was conducted by the 1st Respondent on the 25th day of February 2023.

“That the 1st Respondent retumed the 2nd Respondent as the winner of the said election, and hence the Appellants, beirg dissatisfied with the retum, filed a Petition on the 21st day of March 2023 before the Court of Appeal sitting as the Presidential Election Petition Count.

“That the Court below had by a judgment delivered on 6th September 2023

dismissed the said Petition, whereupon the Appellants/Applicants appealed against the said judgment to this Honourable Court in September 2023.

“That the Record of Appeal has been transmitted to this Honourable Court and the appeal duly entered, and the said Record ofAppeal is now before this Honourable Court, running into over 9,000 pages in 11 Volumes, upon which the Appellants/Applicarts are relying in this application.

“That I know that one of the grounds of the Appellants/Applicants’ Petition before the Court below is that the 2nd Respondent (Tinubu) was not qualified at the time of the election to contest the election and did not meet the constitutiolal theshold to contest.”

Meanwhile, no date has yet been fixed for hearing of the motion.

Tinubu’s Academic Records: Atiku Lacks Moral Justification To Talk About Integrity – Ajiboye

Abiodun Ajiboye, a member of the defunct All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) has tackled Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He berated Atiku over his quest to obtain the academic certificates of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recall that Atiku is seeking to include the academic records of the president in his appeal of the ruling of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal at the Supreme Court.
The PDP flagbearer had alleged discrepancies in the certificate Tinubu submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to contest in the 2023 presidential election.
Speaking during the press conference on Thursday in Abuja, Atiku stated that every Nigerian was embarrassed by the alleged certificate scandal of the president.
The former vice president asserted that he would only drop the battle against the president after the Supreme Court’s judgment, saying that the unravelling of the truth about Tinubu’s records is not personal.
Atiku also paid tribute to the late human rights activist, Gani Fawehinmi, for inspiring him on the path of discovery, saying that he can truly rest in peace in the assurance that what he started about 23 years ago has come to fruition.
He also alleged that Tinubu also sent a delegation of APC governors to meet with him immediately after the election, but that he rebuffed them, saying that he was not indebted to Tinubu as believed by many.
The former vice president also accused the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari of revoking the contracts of his logistics company, Intells.
Speaking in an interview on Arise News on Thursday night, Ajiboye said the former vice president is the most corrupt human being on earth as described by his former principal, former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The APC chieftain said Atiku cannot be talking about the morality of President Tinubu when he is highly immoral and corrupt.
He said: “Obasanjo said Atiku is the most corrupt human being. You cannot talk about morality when you are highly immoral.“

Peter Obi Shuns Atiku’s Invitation To Seek Justice Against Tinubu, Says He’s ‘Focused On Reclaiming His Mandate

The candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has shunned the invitation by his Peoples Democratic Party counterpart in the poll, Atiku Abubakar, to join him to secure justice.

Atiku on Thursday called on his co-contestants on the platforms of the Labour Party, Obi; and the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to join his quest in making President Bola Tinubu account for his forgery of Chicago State University certificate.

Atiku said this at a world press conference in Abuja, two days after his lawyers through a United States court obtained the academic records of Tinubu from the Chicago State University (CSU) which showed alleged discrepancies with what the sitting Nigerian president submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission before the February election.

Both Atiku and Obi challenged Tinubu’s election at the Presidential Election Tribunal Court, for months before the tribunal overturned the cases and affirmed the president’s victory.

Meanwhile, both candidates have appealed the dismissal of their petitions at the Supreme Court, with the PDP candidate hoping to use the alleged forged certificate as a strong case against Tinubu in his appeal.

Speaking at the conference, Atiku said, “This quest is not for or about Atiku Abubakar. It is a quest for the enthronement of truth, morality, and accountability in our public affairs.

“In line with this, therefore, I am calling on all well-meaning Nigerians, leaders of thought, our religious leaders, our traditional leaders, our community leaders, our political leaders, and in particular, Governor Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP and, the leaders of every political party in Nigeria, and, indeed, every single person who loves this country, as I do, and who wishes nothing but the best for the country, as I do, to join me in this campaign to enshrine probity, accountability and the basic principles of justice, morality and uprightness in our country and in our government. This is a task for each and every one of us.

However, the former Anambra governor, in a statement issued by Labour Party National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said he was “focused” on “reclaiming his mandate” at the Supreme Court, according to a statement obtained by The Nation.

In turn, he welcomed others to join in their (Obi and LP) pursuit of justice in the country.

The statement said: “The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi is presently in the Supreme Court seeking to reclaim his stolen mandate and he is focused on that.

“He has been in the vanguard of ensuring a just nation where justice must be the watchword, and he will not stop until Nigeria achieves a leadership it truly deserves.

“Obi has pontificated severally on the need for leaders to be good role models and to live a life worthy of emulation. This he has done by publicly putting his credentials in the open for verification. Nigeria will get better when men of integrity and honour drive the affairs of the nation.

“We therefore welcome every other interest willing to join us in our pursuit of a nation where justice shall reign.”

CSU: You Can’t Take Nigeria Back To Desert – Nabena Tells Atiku

Yekeni Nabena, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, can not take the nation back to the desert.

Atiku had accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of forgery at a press conference on Thursday, October 5.

But, Nabena, in a statement issued on Friday, said all the noise about the Chicago State University certificate is a pre-election matter that has been forgotten.

He stressed that Atiku should rather start preparations for another contest in 2027 as usual rather than drag the nation backwards.

Nabena said contrary to media propaganda by Atiku and opposition parties, “The registrar of Chicago State University (CSU) Caleb Westberb never said President Tinubu forged the certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria.”

He urged the public to be careful of manipulative reports churned out by the opposition parties to cause confusion and seek public sympathy.

The party chieftain maintained that Nigeria is a sovereign state and until the highest court of the land says otherwise, President Bola Tinubu is still legitimately elected and will continue to pilot affairs of the country.

Nabena also called the attention of Nigerian justices and the Supreme Court to the contempt of court by Atiku against the matter already in the court of law.

He said: “Let me use this medium to tell the former Vice President to start preparing for another election in 2027 as usual. Heating up the polity over pre-election matters will not make him President of Nigeria.

“Atiku Abubakar should know by now that Nigerians have moved on. The country is now enjoying good governance because this administration is responsive and responsible.”

CSU Certificate Saga: Why Supreme Court May Not Admit Fresh Evidence – Lawyer

It has been revealed that the Supreme Court may not admit fresh evidence in the appeal of the judgment of the presidential election petition tribunal.
The assertion was made by a former Chairman at the Nigerian Bar Association, Monday Ubani.
Ubani was reacting to the case initiated by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar in the United States.
Atiku had requested for the release of President Bola Tinubu’s certificate from the Chicago State University with claims that the certificate the President submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC may not be authentic.
Speaking on the development on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday, Ubani said, “Looking at the facts surrounding it, the issue of admissibility of fresh evidence by the appellate court is very rare, especially if that evidence was available to you while you were initiating the process.
 
“The Supreme Court will never, even the Court of Appeal will not admit fresh evidence because their job is to review the decision of the court below and not to now evaluate any evidence. 
 
“They don’t take any evidence but there are special circumstances under which fresh evidence can be admitted by the appellate court and that ground is maybe by the time you file the case that evidence was not available.”
President Tinubu, through his lawyers, resisted Atiku’s demand for his records to be released, but the US court eventually ordered CSU to release the President’s academic records to Atiku, who had told the court he needed them for his appeal in the Supreme Court.
Ubani said it will take a lot from Atiku’s legal team to convince the Supreme Court to admit fresh evidence in the appeal of the election tribunal judgment, as the apex court will only be reviewing the decision of the lower court.
The senior lawyer noted that Atiku’s legal team will be challenged by Tinubu’s team on the issue of admissibility of fresh evidence; adding that the court may be left to use its discretionary power to decide whether or not to admit fresh evidence in the case.
He said, “The issue of admissibility of fresh evidence is very critical, you must convince, and whoever is bringing it will be opposed by the other party. So, the court now exercises what is called discretionary power in either admitting or not allowing that fresh evidence to come in.”

Tinubu Academic Records: Atiku To Address Nigerians In World Press Conference

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is set to hold a World Press Conference on Thursday, October 5.

This was disclosed by Dele Momodu, one of the campaign spokespersons of Atiku, on Wednesday night.

The reason for the conference remains unclear, however, it might be connected to the recently released academic records of President Bola Tinubu by Chicago State University (CSU).

Recall that Atiku had requested the documents to back his allegation of forgery of CSU certificate against Tinubu.

The allegation of forgery was one of those dismissed by the presidential election court in the suit Atiku filed to challenge the election of Tinubu.

However, Caleb Westberg, the registrar at Chicago State University, said Tinubu’s certificate, dated June 22, 1979, and tendered to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on June 17, 2022, was not issued by the school and its administrators.

Westberg, who has been a registrar at the University since November 2020, also said that Tinubu did not apply for a replacement certificate, nor was he ever issued one.

Although the certificate issue has dominated the headlines in the last 48 hours, Atiku has been silent about it.

Meanwhile, some organisations and individuals, especially critics, have called for the resignation of the president over the saga.

BREAKING: US Court Orders Chicago State University To Release Tinubu’s Academic Records To Atiku

records is outweighed by Atiku’s interest in the sought-after discovery.

 Bola Tinubu

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois has rendered a verdict in support of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar. The court has mandated Chicago State University to provide President Tinubu’s academic records to the former vice president by Monday, October 2.

Judge Nancy Maldonado, in a copy of the judgment obtained by PUNCH on Sunday, noted that CSU raised no objection to Judge Jeffery Gilbert’s decision that the academic record be made public.

The court explained that any intrusion on Tinubu’s privacy interests in his educational records is outweighed by Atiku’s interest in the sought-after discovery.

Maldonado overruled Tinubu’s objections to Gilbert’s recommended ruling and therefore adopted the ruling in full.

The memorandum opinion and order read in part, “Atiku’s application is therefore granted. In light of the pending Supreme Court of Nigeria deadline. represented to the Court as October 5, 2023, and based on CSU’s representations that it is ready to comply with the discovery requests and produce a witness, the Court sets an expedited schedule for completion of discovery. Respondent CSU is directed to produce all relevant and non-privileged documents.

“The Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of CSU’s corporate designee must be completed by 5:00 p.m. CDT on Tuesday, October 3, 2023. Given the October 5, 2023, filing deadline before the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the Court will not extend or modify these deadlines.”

Certificate Fraud: Save Us From Disgrace, Allow Atiku Access To Your Academic Documents – APC Chieftain Tells Tinubu

members of the ruling party from disgrace and free himself from the looming global bad record.

President Bola Tinubu has been begged to allow Atiku Abubakar, the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 presidential election, to have access to his academic record at Chicago State University (CSU) to save the country from embarassment.
The call was made by Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state.
In an interview with The Sun, the APC chieftain in Rivers State said President Tinubu would save members of the ruling party from disgrace and free himself from the looming global bad record if he allowed Atiku to have access to his academic record at the Chicago State University.
The former national publicity secretary of the defunct New PDP and member Rotimi Amaechi’s camp in the APC made the comment while reacting to the alleged identity fraud about President Bola Tinubu’s academic record in the university.
Eze, a known loyalist of the former minister of transportation, who contested against President Tinubu for the APC presidential ticket during the party’s primary in 2023, said the president is hiding under the privacy rights of the United States, which is extended to his academic records as well.
According to Eze, Tinubu keeping his academic records was a ploy to frustrate any investigation into his claim that he graduated from CSU, where the certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
His comment reads in part: “But, the court, in its wisdom, ruled that the interest of Atiku Abubakar in obtaining Tinubu’s records from CSU outweighs his (Tinubu’s) privacy rights because by submitting his diploma to INEC, he has put his certificate to issue.”

Academic Record: It’s Obvious Tinubu Has Something To Hide – Atiku’s Aide Speaks

Paul Ibe, the media adviser to Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general election, has said that President Bola Tinubu is shielding some information about his academic records.

He was reacting to a motion filed by President Tinubu challenging the Northern District of Illinois order directing the Chicago State University to release his academic records within two days.

The ruling of the court followed a case instituted by Atiku, who is challenging the victory of Tinubu.

However, the President, in a motion filed by his lawyers, argued that a magistrate should only report and recommend to the district judge in such matters and not to make a final order for immediate compliance.

In a statement on Friday, Ibe said: “It should be now obvious even to the blind that Tinubu is hiding something in his records at the Chicago State University, and even elsewhere.

“I do hope whatever it may be, it will not be of a scope that will give Nigerians a heart attack. Nigerians will soon see the true position of Atiku on the records of Tinubu at CSU. It is just a matter of time.”

Atiku had on July 11 filed a petition seeking to obtain further details of Tinubu’s academic records at the Chicago State University.

Documents sought by former Vice President, through his counsel, Angela M. Liu, include record of his admission and acceptance at the university, dates of attendance including degrees, awards and honours attained by Tinubu at the university, among others.

Both Tinubu and the CSU had, through their lawyers, filed objections to the grant of the requests under privacy rules.

APC Reacts As Court Orders Chicago University to Release Tinubu’s Academic Record to Atiku

The All Progressives Congress has reacted after a court in the US ordered Chicago State University to release academic records of President Bola Tinubu to Atiku Abubakar.
The party described the ruling as ‘’an expedition in futility.’’
 
The ruling party said it had nothing to fear as the President had always boasted that he had nothing to hide.
This came as Judge Jeffrey Gilbert of the US District Court for Northern District of Illinois, ordered Tinubu’s alma mater to provide all relevant and non-privileged documents to the applicant, Atiku, within two days.
Documents sought by Atiku, through his counsel, Angela Liu, include the record of admission and acceptance at the university, dates of attendance including degrees, awards and honours attained by Tinubu at the university, among others.
In spite of the development, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Duro Meseko, said the ruling party was not bothered by the court order, stressing that the President had nothing to hide.
He said, “The President has always said over and again that he has nothing to hide. 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.”

In its reaction, the Presidency submitted that Tinubu’s academic record would be of no value to the PDP presidential candidate, noting that Atiku and his party were simply chasing shadows.
 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’s favour on September 6. ⁣
The official said, “After getting the President’s records, how will that help Atiku’s case? The university has not recanted its often-stated position that President Tinubu graduated in 1979 from the school. ⁣
 
“Atiku and PDP are chasing shadows. The President’s academic records have no probable value to Atiku’s case in court. At Supreme Court, you can’t 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.’’⁣
The Coordinator of Tinubu’s legal team, Babatunde Ogala, SAN, could not be reached for comment on the implication of the US court order for the presidential election petition appeals filed by Atiku and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, at the Supreme Court.
The two candidates had challenged Tinubu’s eligibility to contest the February 25 presidential election following his victory which was affirmed by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in its September 6 judgment.
Atiku had approached the US court for an order compelling the CSU to release Tinubu’s academic records.

He alleged that Tinubu’s academic records were forged.
Tinubu’s credentials indicated that he graduated from CSU in 1979 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Accounting and Management, but there have been allegations bordering on discrepancies with his certificate.
Last week, a public affairs analyst, Durojaiye Ogunsanya, identified the former Lagos State governor as his classmate at the CSU.
Speaking on a TVC programme, Ogunsanya said he and the President graduated from the Department of Accounting and Business Administration in 1979.
“We met in a school in Chicago State; we were in the same department, College of Accounting, Business and Administration, with majors in Accounting, and we were in the same class together and graduated. He did attend the university and graduated in 1979 as I did. So I’m here to testify that he did attend the university, and he was a good student,” he clarified.
In January 2022, CSU confirmed through Beverly Poindexter, who is in charge of official transcript requests, enrolment, and degree verification at the Office of the Registrar, that Tinubu attended the institution.
The CSU said, “Mr Tinubu did attend our university, however, if further information is needed, go to studentclearinghouse.org website to make a formal request.”
 
In an earlier letter dated August 20, 1999, and signed by then Registrar, Lois Davis, the university stated that Tinubu was its student between 1977 and 1979.
But justifying his decision to obtain the President’s records, Atiku said unless a clarification is made, it is difficult, if not impossible, for the public to understand the academic journey of the former Lagos State governor.
Taking to his verified X handle @atiku on Sunday, August 28, Atiku wrote, “I woke up this morning wondering how we got to this cul de sac. In 1999, @officialABAT (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) claimed he attended St John’s Primary School, Aroloya, Lagos, before proceeding to Children Home School in Ibadan.
 
“According to him, his next port of call in his educational journey was Government College Ibadan, and Richard Daley College and Chicago State University in the United States. Curiously, in 2023, Tinubu settled with attending only Chicago State University.
 
“I am scratching my head. How is that possible? Methinks that all well-meaning Nigerians should be as confused as I am with Tinubu’s declaration that he had no primary and secondary education, yet he has a university degree. You may wish to ask Tinubu how he attained this feat so that we can learn from his ingenuity.”
 
He accompanied the post with a laughing emoji. In support of Atiku’s application at the US court, netizens last month stormed the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of the CSU, @ChicagoState, forcing the college to lock the page which was hitherto public.
