Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, yesterday, in Abuja, admitted the Chicago State University educational documents of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as
The documents were admitted in spite of rigorous objections against their respective admissibility by the Peoples Democratic Party and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Apart from the educational documents, the Court further admitted an originating summons of a suit instituted at the Supreme Court by the attorneys-general of Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo and Sokoto states challenging the educational background of Tinubu to stand for the 2023 presidential election.
Meanwhile, the president will on July 5 open his defence at the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja, in a petition filed by the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, against his declaration as winner of the February 25 presidential election.The decision by Tinubu to begin defence followed INEC’s dramatic decision on Tuesday to terminate its own defence in Obi’s petition after calling one witness and tendering four documents.
Tinubu, through his lawyer, told the court that his client was fully ready to kick-start the defence on July 5 with his witnesses and documents to justify the victory in the presidential election.
