The US court in Illinois ordered Chicago State University (CSU) to release the academic records to Atiku after dismissing Mr Tinubu's objection on Saturday.
The United States District Court in Northern Illinois has given Chicago State University 48 hours starting from Saturday to release President Bola Tinubu’s academic records to an opposition candidate in Nigeria’s February presidential election, Atiku Abubakar.
“For the reasons stated in the Court’s accompanying Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Court overrules President Tinubu’s objections in Mr. Abubakar’s subpoena, by 12:00 p.m. CDT, on Monday, October 2, 2023. This, Atiku argued, goes to the root of Mr Tinubu’s qualification to contest the last presidential election.
Mr Tinubu mounted stiff opposition to the release of the documents to Atiku, arguing that “the Nigerian election proceedings and the Nigerian courts” had explicitly rejected the documents Atiku sought to obtain and tender in his case aimed at overturning the results of the 25 presidential elections. “Nor is the Court taking any position on what any of the documents or testimony from CSU may or may not ultimately show. The Court simply finds, on the narrow question before it, that Mr Abubakar is entitled to the production of documents and testimony that he seeks from CSU,” a summary of the judgement read in part.
