The United States District Court in Northern Illinois has ordered Chicago State University (CSU) to release President Bola Tinubu's academic records to opposition candidate Atiku Abubakar. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had approached the court to compel the university to release Tinubu's records, alleging that he forged his diploma certificate.
The court dismissed Tinubu's objections to the release of the records, saying that Atiku has the right to have access to them. Atiku argues that this goes to the root of Tinubu's qualification to contest the last presidential election. Although Atiku lost his case against Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Court in early September, he is appealing the decision to the Supreme Court. He hopes to use the CSU records to support his argument that Tinubu forged his diploma.
Atiku and Labour Party candidate Peter Obi have both rejected the September 6, 2023 court judgment declaring Tinubu Nigeria's duly elected president. They have both filed appeals with the Supreme Court to nullify the judgment.
