The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, has hinted the relevant documents obtained from the Chicago State University (CSU) would be presented before the Supreme Court.
Speaking to Punch, Abdullahi said the documents would be used to prove the PDP and Atiku Abubakar’s case against President Bola Tinubu at the apex court.
Atiku had filed 35 grounds of appeal at the apex court to nullify the Presidential Election Petitions Court’s judgment that affirmed Tinubu as the winner of the February presidential election.
Asked if they were satisfied with the documents released by the CSU, Abdullahi said, “Yes, we are; that was exactly what we requested.
“We have suspected and proven that we have a conflicting record about Tinubu, the president of the country, and that is why we sought relief from the court to see what he was issued when he graduated from the Chicago State University as he claimed in 1979.
“He who alleges must prove. Now that we have the document, we will tender it before the Supreme Court.
“So it’s now for the revered justices of the Supreme Court to see if indeed what we have said against this person can be proven, and then the necessary thing be done per the extant provisions, laws and the Electoral Act.”
Declaring that ‘the game is up,’ Abdullahi stated, “If the judiciary has any modicum of honour left in it, this is the time to prove it, and if Tinubu and his people, APC have anything good for Nigeria in their entire conception, this is the time to prove it. Tinubu and the APC should apologise to Nigerians, hand over and go.”
The CSU registrar, Caleb Westberg, had said the institution could not authenticate the certificate President Tinubu presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission before the 2023 general elections.
